Why although Pyqt and Pyside are very similar in terms of functionality, every known course is made for Pyqt which has commercial licence? I am really curious to know...
They're basically identical as far as I've seen through using PyQt5 then Pyside6. Either way, I'd recommend just using qtpy. Then if you need to switch for license reasons or whatever, it's as easy as installing the other lib and changing an env variable
- Is it just me or did the creators of the Python QT5 GUI library miss a golden opportunity to call the package QtPy?

I like rust but want to use Qt.
You can use cxx-qt or qmetaobject-rs. Or use Slint

Build a desktop app with Qt and Rust
Rust has several Qt bindings. The most popular are Ritual, CXX-Qt, and qmetaobject. Ritual is not maintained anymore, and qmetaobject doesn't support QWidgets. So CXX-Qt is our best bet for now.

We're getting closer, but you're still likely to run into missing features in CXX-Qt at this point. If you do, please report it on GitHub!

Who "owns" Rust ?
This is no longer required in CXX-Qt as of this week (https://github.com/KDAB/cxx-qt/pull/428). Next release coming soon.

The first issue of Rust Magazine has been published 🎉🎉
From my understanding KDAB isn't trying to "replace" Qt. They're working on cxx-qt to make using Qt and Rust together much easier.

Rust: State of GUI, December 2022 – KAS blog
I second this. I wrote an internal Qt/QML app that ran on Windows, Linux, Android, and Raspberry Pis. We had ~20 Raspberry Pi's running this app in kiosk mode. If only KDAB/cxx-qt[1] were ready there, I would have done as much as possible in rust .
