Hello,
It's understandable why Apple did this.
But why did you do this? Does the supporting of 10.15 really increase
the development cost for Qt Company?

Hi,
Since Qt 6.5 drops Mac OS 10.15 Catalina,
it apparently starts to be irrelevant for at least 95% of Mac Desktops.
Please note the problem is that *Apple* dropped 10.15 earlier this year. Its
last security release was already released and there won't be any new ones any
more. If you have a problem with that, you can contact Apple support or vote
with your pocket on your next computer or OS.
In any case, even though the Qt minimum supported release is now 11.0, 10.15
will still work for a while. Eventually, there will be your usual crop of API
uses that won't work in 10.15, but right now they aren't there because the
minimum version bump only happened last month in Qt. So 6.5 will likely
compile on 10.15 out of the box, or with minimal action on your part.
To keep Qt-6 being still relevant for Mac Desktop open-source
development, please
consider keeping Mac OS 10.15 as a target.
If you convince Apple to restart support for it, sure.
