I should have noted that I was (half-) joking, because that rumor has been a steady thing from the Gnomes for, what, 23 years now, though obviously not about Qt6.
I wrote a lot about this way back when -- mostly on LinuxPlanet, whose archives do not seem to extend back that far and it would take half a day to track it down in the wayback machine, but I did find this from 21 years ago, when the pre-cancellation RMS criticized KDE and endorsed Gnome:
