Only the root user can write to the root directory ("/") and this is not a Qt limitation at all. There are many ways to get around this, all of which are bad ideas for your Qt application to adopt.

IMHO, rather than write data to a new directory based off the root, you should use the standard locations that each OS identifies are where your application should write transient or permanent files...

Take a look at the QStandardPaths class and use a platform independent method of determining where your app should place its temporary or permanent files.
