I'm maintainer of the Qwt library ( https://qwt.sourceforge.io/ ), that 
exists since Qt 1.1 - but there are also other popular Qt plotting 
libraries available. For some reason "Qt" decided to come up with the Qt/
Charts module many years later - AFAIK without even trying to contact any 
existing project.

As being author of a competing package I never checked the code of the Qt/
Chart module and can't ( and don't want to ) judge if it is good or bad. 
But my impression is, that it started with a limited set of features and 
immediately changed into maintenance mode without seeing much active 
development since then.

Don't you agree that supporting an existing project instead would have 
lead to a better overall situation for everyone ?

Considering that you hardly get the existing modules maintained - why 
don't you start with thinking in a more community oriented way ?
