The problem with doing this in support code is that it is not strictly source compatible.  An example this would break is if you want to embed the value of QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE into a C++ executable using something like
add_definitions("-DQMAKE=\"${QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE}\"")
Any use of QMAKE in the program would then expand to "$<TARGET_FILE:Qt5::qmake>", which is obviously not what was wanted.
