On Windows, developers are used to opening a shell ("command prompt") that is 
associated with that particular Qt & compiler version. Or they just use an 
IDE. So qtchooser is not necessary.

On Mac, I'm told that global installation of development tools are no longer 
the way to go. Instead, all tooling is kept somewhere specific and you simply 
tell the compiler where to find it. That way, there's no global qmake problem: 
instead, the user is supposed to know where Qt is before running qmake. This 
is something that qtchooser can help.
