Of course on Linux there are usually distro packages so it’s already easy (as long as you don’t mind them often being a bit outdated: shame on distros who still didn’t upgrade to 5.12 yet). And macOS has brew.
Actually, I'd turn this around and say shame on the Qt project for not publishing packages, at least for the major distributions.
It's Debian's policy to publish stable releases which don't change except for security and other essential updates. There is no argument for updating Qt in a stable release.
If Qt wants to get updates out to developers on Debian and Ubuntu it can publish its own packages.
There are third party packages available for Ubuntu which I have rebuilt for my Debian systems here, as I needed a newer version than 5.7 on my Debian stable systems.
