I don't think so. At the time I'm sure their goal was to have Qt as the development platform for all their phone hardware in time, while the profit would have come from phone sales. Using LGPL would have encouraged adoption by all developers.
What they didn't know in 2009 was that their hardware business will collapse. Or be collapsed.
