Would a min dep Qt 5.14 be more real-worldish? (Re: PSA: Frameworks depends on Qt 5.13 now)

Clueless question: why jump to Qt 5.13 and not Qt 5.14?
>From the discussion at least in https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-frameworks-devel/2020-July/112712.html I could not see a discussion whether Qt 5.13 makes
sense at all now, seems just the algorithm was applied.
Do we have some overview which realistic distribution targets would require us
to still support Qt 5.13 now? Or would it make more sense to jump to 5.14 as
min dep straight?
Motivation to ask is that KDE CI right now does not yet cover Qt 5.13, but
only Qt 5.14 & Qt 5.15.
So by "Martin's Law": no CI coverage -> feature (of min dependency) not
existing.
