With Embarcadero's very expensive multi-thousand dollar licensing costs[1], it seems like their strategy is focused on charging existing customers already heavily invested in their tools. (E.g. large legacy codebase with dependencies on VCL.)
I doubt that there's a significant number of new customers that's comparing both Qt and VCL as equal possibilities. Qt has a cheaper commercial license and more programmers in the labor market know it. Qt Creator GUI also runs on Linux today instead of an unspecified tomorrow.
