Isn't using SHA1 checksums for SDK files a security risk

As mentioned in this question, SHA1 has been obsoleted/cracked in early 2017.
Still, the checksums (e.g. qtcreator) used for the SDK downloads are SH1.
Doesn't this introduce a security risk, since the hashes could potentially be reproduced despite of having modified the packages?
