In that case, I feel that I'm getting a decent experience for the size. Would you argue the same for a 60 MB Hello, World application?

Depends, if someone presented a hello world example in unreal engine I would expect the binary to be larger than 60MB.

if you like the pricing and licensing, functionally QT may be for you. The web frameworks mentioned on the other hand are free to use for everybody and anything.
Qt is LGPL. You know what else requires you to respect the LGPL ? Electron becauses it is built mainly on LGPL components (Blink, FFMPEG to name the biggest ones). If you are ok with the license of Electron you are ok with the license of Qt.
https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/LICENSE
So everyone can use it without the need to expose his IP.

Electron is MIT licensed. Not LGPL. https://github.com/electron/electron/blob/main/LICENSE So everyone can use it without the need to expose his IP.
See for instance one of the most core Blink data structures: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/blink/+/refs/head...
That is the exact same license than Qt, you do not need to expose your IP when using it (Tesla used LGPL Qt for their car dashboards and you don't see that IP floating around on the internet)

"Probably"? On the contrary, the incredible complexity of the JS ecosystem makes it likely easier to write in Qt. I've had direct experience with this myself - with no prior Qt or webdev experience (although knowledge of how JS the language works), it took me only around an hour to figure out how to write a Qt application - but after 5 hours (and counting) of struggling with Angular, I wasn't able to figure out how t…
Can you share how you learned? I've spent a lot of time trying to learn how to use Qt but it's very complex and hard to experiment with.
