Description

Currently, the libqsqlodbc.dylib is explicitly linked to /usr/local/opt/libiodbc/lib/libiodbc.2.dylib

Reasons to switch to unixODBC:

https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/sql-driver.html#how-to-build-the-odbc-plugin-on-unix-and-macos says, "It is recommended that you use unixODBC"
Recent versions of macOS no longer come bundled with iODBC
According to HomeBrew stats, unixODBC has over 100x more installs over the past year compared to libiodbc (see https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/unixodbc and https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/libiodbc )
