FWIW I think this is a little short-sighted. Why are we ruling out Qt
exactly?
We would first have to agree that Qt5 belongs in oe-core with
appropriate level of maintenance and QA, and that it's okay to add
half an hour or more to the building time of a standard GUI image.
From the screenshots of LxQT, it looks like yet another Win95 clone
meant strictly for desktop use that would certainly scale poorly to
small resolution screens. Who would be the target audience for it in
the embedded space? For the purposes of 'engineering UI', Sato is
fine, and we don't need something else.

fwiw. I would love to be able to develop devices like those pictured
below, which I believe are based on Qt for Device Creation.

They have their own meta-b2qt layer for that. See "Embedded
documentation" and "Building Your Own Embedded Linux Image" from that
page.
It's not an OE-core thing, imho.
