Because - 'A' is an universal cross-platform tool, aka QBS. And 'B' - it
is usually a narrowly specialized vendor-specific tool.
And a tool 'B' does not known nothing about 'A'.
But:
- tool 'B' has a better debugger than a tool 'A' and this debuger are
integrated only to the IDE of tool 'B'.
- tool 'B' has a worse IDE editor than a tool 'A' (e.g. QtC).
So, we just create a cross-platform project on a tool 'A' (on QBS) and
to generate required project for a tool 'B' , 'C' or something else to
use this generated project in that tools. It can be useful e.g. for
debugging purposes, or when a customer want to have a resulting project
sources in a "native" tool.
Of course, the developer can start developing a project using the
required target native tool 'B', 'C' and etc.. but usually, this tools
have an ugly IDE with a code editors (which causes a "vomiting reflex").
PS: I say about the bare-metal programming industry. It just a my
thoughts and wants. For me it would be a more comfortable to use the QtC
&& QBS with generators. :)

For c++ - yes. Imagine a pure javascript rule that doesn’t invoke any

But we speak about c/c++ :)
What are pros?
Pros are than I can use then a generated 'native' project on hosts without
of QBS (just use that 'native' IDE && tools)! F.e. using a 'native'
debugger and etc.
One can argue the other way round, too: Why would A have to take care of
"native" export to B when B does not care for importing A?
The soft spot in such cases of interoperability is typically somewhere
in between: Both sides should care somewhat of the other.
