If the entire open source ecosystem dumped GTK and went with Qt, that would solve a LOT of our problems, eh?

Indeed. Even mixing Qt apps with GTK apps usually works pretty smoothly and doesn’t take up too much library space. But in the case of Calamares it actually depends on the KDE Framework too, so that’s where all the extra cruft comes from if the ISO doesn’t already include Plasma. In other words, all KDE apps use Qt, but not all Qt apps use the KDE Framework. Calamares uses both.
