I think it _has_ been uncommon for at least 15 years (and was mostly a thing between the release of GCC 3.0 and the release of GCC 3.2). For retpoline support some distros chose not to backport it but wanted the retpolines, so they obviously could not both have their cake and eat it.
However, it has been common to use a separate Rust or even C++ compiler to build packages like Firefox, Libreoffice or Qt.

Who is doing this with Qt in distributions? I don't know of anyone doing that.
