Actually, GNOME seem to prefer Vala.
Canonical seem to prefer Python and Qt.

AFAIK the only Qt application still in development by Canonical is the UbuntuOne configuration GUI, because they want to have it look native in Ubuntu & Windows (and maybe other platforms too).

There was also Unity 2D, but that's deprecated now.

The way I see it this is just an effort to bring USC goodness to other distros.
