I am working on implementing all things orientation for the QScreen
class as I write this. It should be available for apps to take
advantage of in the very near future.

We've had some discussions about doing this type of thing, but haven't
come to any concrete decisions yet. I agree with the premise of what
you just said, it'll just be a matter of picking a strategy that works
for the majority of the use-cases.
