Here is the quote from Qt docs that explains their rationale which makes sense:
Quote:

Note: On macOS, references to "Ctrl", Qt::CTRL, Qt::Key_Control and Qt::ControlModifier correspond to the Command keys on the Macintosh keyboard, and references to "Meta", Qt::META, Qt::Key_Meta and Qt::MetaModifier correspond to the Control keys. Developers on macOS can use the same shortcut descriptions across all platforms, and their applications will automatically work as expected on macOS.

So using this convention allows each platforms most common shortcut key sequenes to work as expected from a single codebase. Ctrl+C will work for Windows/Linux to copy as will Apple+C for copy on macOS without any code changes. This is how it has always been and it makes good sense for a cross-platform app like Sigil which is what Qt was designed for.
