Be aware that Qt's widget library isn't exactly well-suited for mobile usage and mobile apps usually use QtQuick with frameworks like Kirigami.
PureOS Amber unfortunately has a too old Qt to be able to say that it's a "first-class citizen" there :( It's going to change with a coming version that's based on Debian Bullseye though. Meanwhile, Qt apps run very well in Flatpak on Amber already.

How so? It's my understanding that QT has been the industry standard for embedded systems.

If you make your own UI, yes. But if you make a desktop-style application that's supposed to adapt its UI to small touchscreens, you're going to have a hard time with Qt Widgets. Even KDE uses Qt Quick for its adaptive apps.

PinePhone with KDE Plasma Mobile is going to be sold in the next few weeks so you might be interested in that as well!
I had a look at their docs and I like the focus on Python, I'll probably give it a go. If I can get a decent result with PyQt I'll probably order one of these bad boys.
