Others have pointed out that qt5 has a whole lot more lines of code...
Also bear in mind, the kernel is in C, and qt5 is in C++. And C++ takes
longer to compile (at least on our OS, comparing gcc to g++). Even a
trivial "hello world" program (that works as either C or C++) takes
around 2x as long to compile with g++.
