Because until  now qwt is the only package selecting widgets without gui
(most packages directly, pulseview via qt5svg and qt5cinex via qt5base
eglfs)...and from qt5base/Config.in:

  if BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_GUI

  config BR2_PACKAGE_QT5BASE_WIDGETS
          bool "widgets module"
  [...]
  endif

No, did not search the autobuild database, but maybe since 'package/qwt: remove qt4 support'?
