All The Qt Company has to do is keep a subset of Qt as FOSS and they're good to go. If KDE and others use more than that subset then that's on them.
Was it a dick move pulling 5.15.X releases out from under them? Yes. That's obvious. They could have waited, should have waited, until 6 was ready. Yanking bug support like that in the age of SpectreMelt with two all beef patties is fucked up.
So now that we've addressed that it can only be seen as a violation of spirit but not a violation of contract; that this was an unfortunate scenario that was agreed to years ago -- Does it make sense to fork Qt 5.15.X permanently like yourself and others keep suggesting or does it make sense to get the remains of 5.15.X over to 6.X while keeping a temporary 5.15.X bug fix fork like KDE's doing now?
And if you post links to what they've said I might read them. I'm not gonna go off on a wile goose chase for comments I don't think I've read from places I may or may not have been to.
