Nevertheless, personally I would also provide the Qt5Core_LIBRARY

This is harder if there is only the plural version of the variables.
I'd say those singular versions are not strictly necessary, but they don't
hurt and can in some cases be useful.
If it's a cached variable, someone could potentially redefine QtCore_LIBRARY
Alex was proposing simply to provide the singular name as a variable but not
to cache it. The only reason to cache a variable is when we're searching and
need to let the user help out or override. In a Config.cmake file we know
the answer.
