I don't see why people lose their minds about the "tomfoolery". It's very clear what the Qt company wants, and how that's good for everyone. If you want to use Qt, you have to support the free software movement either directly (by making your code foss) or indirectly (by paying for the non-LGPL use and supporting Qt).

That's the problem. No matter how many times Digia threatens you, the LGPL does not require you to make your code open source.
You're either confusing the L and non L GPL licenses, or you remember the situation from before Nokia bought Qt. Trolltech Qt was indeed GPL (without the L) plus commercial and what you said would have applied. However, it does not apply now.
