Why? Generally all the mkspecs are in the existing path.

I am not sure where are defined paths to include mkspec features. In my case, in in Manjaro, the path /usr/share wasn't working, but /usr/lib did. I must admit that I wasn't able to find relevant documentation. Then I have tried to some examples on github. It seems the other projects are using QT_HOST_DATA variable. In one of projects I have found with greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4). My conclusion was, that the QT_INSTALL_DATA is there because of compatibility with previous version Qt. Obviously, I am not sure about it anymore.

Where mkspecs are installed is set at build time. For example for Qt6 it is done by defining INSTALL_MKSPECSDIR.
For our Qt that directory will be in /usr/share because we install the contents for archdatadir into "%{_datadir}/qt5" while all others install into %{_libdir}/qt5
So the bug is inside our Qt5 package why it didn't came up earlier. The right QMake variable in this case is QT_INSTALL_ARCHDATA.
Docs can be found here:

Also please correct the commit message. It is not about /usr/lib but about QT_INSTALL_ARCHDATA, /usr/lib is just the path on some of the hosts but not all.

I wasn't able to find the right value in documentation. I was following implementation in other project, which was obviously wrong. Thanks for finding out. The commit was updated accordingly.

It seems the *.prf files are currently installed into /usr/share/qt5/mkspecs/features, but in my opinion it should be in /usr/lib/qt5/mkspec/features.
The dark side is that
CONFIG += iodata-qt5silently fails - doesn't update LIBS variable and doesn't complain about missing config file
