I cannot speak for them, but they certainly could if they can design an
API to expose. Not by detecting the compositor per se though, but
adapting to the Wayland and other interfaces they can discover.

I believe Qt may even have a DRM KMS backend, too, so you are already
able to run some Qt apps without any display server straight on KMS.

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/embedded-linux.html mentions KMS and libinput
with eglfs.
