This is due to distribution patching. By default Qt installs it's
plugins to $libprefix/plugins/ but distributions change this to
$libprefix/qt5/plugins/

Setting KDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS to ON by default is hostile to
both our own CI system and anyone who uses a distro Qt but installs
their self built software in a different prefix (for isolation, etc).

I would consider this a defect in the distribution packaging, so the
bug should be reported to them - if you are going to adjust Qt in this
manner, then you should also ensure the various install routines
shipped alongside CMake install in your adjusted location suffix
($libprefix/qt5/plugins/ in this instance)
