I'm claiming that Qt is run 1% of the time in big-endian mode. Explain to

Because that class was created to communicate with the big-endian world
of real computers.
No, it was not. It was created to communicate with other Qt applications.
On that we will perpetually disagree. Us old people were actually around

Do not change the default. Feel free to create a
different class,
I won't change the default, but mostly because I want people to stop using
QDataStream altogether and switch to CBOR. So I won't invest any time in
updating QDataStream so the problems you've raised in terms of compatibility
would be addressed. (yes, the problems would be real)
Thank you.
