You can actually build Qt without icu ( pass -no-icu to configure[.exe] when building Qt)

QML is designed with mobile in mind. For heavy desktop UI, Qt Quick Components, kinda fills the need.

Qt Quick 3 would be unwarranted, but a lot of maturation needs to happen.

It might be, but last time I tried Qt on mobile I ended up redoing the app in Java, C++/CX with XAML with C++ for the common code.

The effort for doing from scratch native widgets in QML was greater than the approach I took, specially because Qt didn't provide wrappers for the APIs I cared about.
