It allows you to use custom Python widgets in Designer.

In a prior thread Phil explained that he intends the 'pyqt5' wheels to be depended on by application packages.  They are not there to provide a development environment.  Since many of us developers would still like easy (and smaller than full Qt) access to the tools I am slowly putting together the 'pyqt5-tools' wheels.

While several of us were surprised like you to find designer missing I think the separate wheels do make sense once their purposes are explained.
