The namespacing is there to give the reader a hint that this thing is not simply the basename of a library, but an (imported) target. If you would simply use e.g. "solid", if the target has, for whatever reason, not been imported, cmake would consider it as the basename of a library and add -lsolid, and it may work or not. CMake will actually do the same with "KF5::solid", but at least for the reader it should give a strong hint that this is not the basename of a library.
