We have them because we made a mistake when we added SHA3 support. We've kept them for compatibility, for people who had hashes to compare to and had accidentally used Keccak.They're the only ones we couldn't fall back to Linux's AF_ALG or OpenSSL's support, which often contain more optimised code that ours.
Weren't there some reports about users that have accidentally generated Keccak hashes with Qt 5.x, and thus required the algorithms to be left in in order to have backwards compatibility? (Sure thing, those hashes should have been regenerated by now...).
