That's not the case, at least according to Microsoft (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/porting/binary-compat-2015-2017?view=msvc-170): You can mix binaries built by different versions of the v140, v141, v142, and v143 toolsets. However, you must link by using a toolset at least as recent as the most recent binary in your app. As almost all Qt users link against the Qt libraries, they need to, therefore, use at least the Microsoft Compiler version that the CI uses.
