No, that's the change in mentality, or change of focus, that Simon is 
trying to point out. The WebView as delivered by QtWebKit is a basis for 
building plaform-specific WebViews out of, not a out-of-the-box experience.

Think QtComponents for Harmattan, which have their own TextField, with 
the right style and behavior, but used a TextInput internally. 
QtComponents for Harmattan would then deliver their own WebView which 
adds scroll-indicators, dialogs, etc, to make it fit with the platform.

The same goes for desktop, where the desktop components would be the one 
to customize the WebView for desktop consumers.
