There are really two different issues here. One is that they pulled this commercial-only stunt in the first place, and the other being that they did it during a major version change where the current version is not a viable upgrade path in may cases due to missing features.
The second issue here is the bigger of the two, many projects are stuck on Qt 5.15.2 with nowhere to go until the missing functionality is added to Qt6.
If it had instead started with Qt6 LTS releases with Qt5 continuing as normal then there would be less damage caused to the community by this. It would sure be annoying to LTS users, but users following current versions would be unaffected.
