All removals were announced by way of deprecation messages,

A deprecation message at compile time is __not__ a warning to the installed base. This is especially true for things that were built with earlier versions of Qt and are now just being recompiled with a much later version.

A message in interest saying "Hey! We are about to nuke this, is anyone actually using it?"

That's a warning. People who have stuff built with 4.x or very early 5.x can then make an informed decision. That is __not__ FUD, that is reality.

Deprecated is not same as having gone away. Just how many major releases as asprintf() been deprecated for?

but the removal of toList(), toSet() & co.  is already a pain, and we
basically needed to add helper functions to keep our code readable.

That duth sound a bit more like something was shot and left in the woods.
