When you're spying on the citizens of your own country there's a lot regulations and paperwork involved. You can still do it of course, but it's a real pain in the ass.
It's way easier to have allied country spy on your citizens and since allies have intelligence sharing agreements you get the information without all the red tape.
Not saying this is the intent of this agreement, it's more likely Qatar wants to train their pilots and the US wants to reduce the number of airmen stationed in Qatar to train them there. But Qataris spying on US citizens isn't a concern that should be dismissed out of hand.
