The UTF-8 optimized functions needs UTF-16 versions. But why do you

Guesswork :-)
The LCL itself already has some widgetsets using UTF-16.
Yep. So there the conversion needs to be dropped, while with the other a
conversion needs to be implemented.
Thus Lazarus would get "compatible" with MSEGUI on that behalf.
Strings speed is almost no issue for the LCL itself.
I do believe that you are right here (Martin very often offered this
argument when explaining why he built MSEGUI the way it is.
But many LCL applications and packages would suffer.
Same issue as when Delphi made this move.
