You are mixing 2 things:

If you draw the lines so red and thick, who am I to disagree...
But, I could write a gigantic data mining application, a database
application or a myriad of such apps that uses the above class without
doing a single pixel of GUI stuff.
For GUI design, you may well need all the things you describe.
And as I said before: you can do this yourself if you need it.
True.
I could also do my own TList, TStringList etc. etc. but, luckily I don't
have to.
I was under the impression, therefore, that stuff that makes life easier
for a number of developers get to be included into the main distribution
for common use; and not be rejected on the basis of /language level/ .
