Simple - nobody bothered (I told this story a couple of times already). I personally made a 4.7 build nearly a year ago in just a couple of hours, but that (along with my dev env) sadly went down with a disk crash. Didn't have the inspiration to redo the thing as considering the state of the GLES drivers (and, well hardware design in general) of the N8x0, getting a performant Qt platform would require quite a bit of work*

*Trivia: The 25$ raspberry pi runs circles - no, planetary orbits around the N8x0 performance-wise

(though it seems to be porting Qt to WebOS is missing the point entirely)
Depends on what the point of webOS is. To be a web-tech-friendly Linux base (in which case Qt makes a lot of sense), or just a vehicle for web apps (in which case it's no better than Tizen).
