To give you a better idea, imagine a garden divided by a wall, one side is the Qt/C++/QWidgets/QStyle, the other side is the QtQuick/QML/QtQuickControls/JavaScript. You can use both sides at once, but you have to somehow get through the wall in the middle. And that complicates things a bit. Plus QML and Qt/C++ are different languages offering different features too, some C++ stuff can never be done in QML. It most certainly is possible though, just brings in more work.
