Then you have not used Adobe Lightroom.
It uses many command-less shortcuts. T changes the tools, D switches to the
develop module, G switches to the Library Grid view, etc:

It is not a “Mac thing”. It is specifically allowed by the Cocoa API (where
they’re called “key equivalents”).
There are provisions in Qt for command-less and control-less shortcuts.
See QShortcutEvent’s “Standard Shortcuts” section where the Mac OS X shortcut
for Refresh is F5.
