This is really a valid question (not just for youtube-dl but for chat apps as well)... I guess the answer is : Qt being LGPL and the abundance of front-end webdevs

It is completely possible to sell closed source applications even using QT. ( It is all about how you link your QT libraries )

I think the main reason is abundance of frontend devs and quick to start using Electron.
