The *any* here is too broad. One approach was rejected, there are tons of 
others. E.g. just naming the variables QT_ instead of XDG_ might have been 
less controversial.
But since everyone was saying, at the same time, that end users don't want env 
vars, I can understand that the Qt developers thought this issue needs more 
thinking, to solve all uses cases, not just "KDE CI" (which was a too 
restrictive line of argumentation compared to what it really was, "developer 
setup", as you say).

That would be me, and since I don't know how things should work on OSX, I am 
not in a good position to decide. On top of that I come from the KDE world, so 
I can't really force a KDE patch into Qt if it's a bit controversial.
