  Well, you can almost surely write entire apps in QML if you take the C++ entrypoint for granted. Just a couple examples: you can do Bluetooth discovery scans in QML without writing any C++ [1], you can read from ~20 sensors without writing any C++ [2], you can write complete 3D scenes declaratively in QML [3], and the list goes on.

This however is not true. I've worked on multiple pure QML apps so far (well, if you don't count the auto-generated main.cpp). Remember that you have access to a complete ES7 JS engine which allows for a lot of stuff.
