Like the answer says (although with more words).  You need to run py3_env.bat
if you want python3 and qt5_env.bat if you want Qt5 - o4w_env.bat is not enough
(that's also what qgis-dev.bat and python-qgis-dev.bat do).

Because OSGeo4W has QGIS 2.14, 2.18 and master - GRASS also AFAIK still needs
python2 (the OSGeo4W packages certainly do).  If you leave out GRASS and QGIS
2.14 and 2.18 it probably won't install python2 - but you'll still need to run
the batch files to set the environment up.
