On platforms where Qt is a system library, being able to at least launch your application if the system has a lower patch level than what the binary was built against sounds nice. But in practice, it’s rolling dice - the application might work fine; or it might get fatally hit by one of the not-yet-fixed bugs.
I'm kind of sceptical that this actually happens in practice. If I distribute a Qt application with the idea that an user can run it using their distribution-provided Qt, I'd just use the same distribution to compile the application to begin with (= the very same version for Qt) or an earlier release of the distribution (= earlier minor version of Qt).
It seems very unlikely that one would end up building for Qt x.y.z and then have their users on Qt x.y.(w<z).
