Due to the way that Qt support is implemented, revdeps currently need to depend on sci-libs/vtk[-qt5,qt6] or sci-libs/vtk[qt5]. This makes for the worst possible UX - even if the dependency tree is not broken, users setting USE=vtk globally potentially get a handful conflicts to sort out. We need to get out of that situation asap, and that means, drop Qt5 in revdeps aggressively.
