For mobile it totally makes sense.
For desktop I think you will find people will want to run
"unsigned/untrusted" "legacy" apps quite a lot :)

Sounds like an improvement, thanks. In the long term though, I think you
will find power users (and even some apps) want to launch non-Qt apps by
simply executing them. Eventually (as with any other desktop OS) they
will need to /just work/. So any wrapper will need to go away.
It's not about Qt or not. The shell requires to uniquely and reliably
identify a client. I can't see a way for this to happen securely without
a trusted third-party (today that's ubuntu-app-launch, it might be
apparmor).
Apps aren't able to directly launch other apps, they have to request an
app to be launched (generally via opening a URL), it's the user that
will ultimately decide whether they allow that or not.
Those are all security features that we might allow "power users" to
lift via a setting or similar, but will be the default behaviour for the
foreseeable future.
