The compiler will generate a warning in case you instantiate a class that is

It's probably not practical to put that warning into all potential files but a
warning is still probably good enough as a reminder. It's curious though why
it's not an error by default, because if the class is abstract and you
instantiate it and try to use it things are going to fail anyways so why does
the compiler allow it in the first place?
As I have said: Delphi compatibility.
