For one thing, class variables, class methods, and class properties are subject to visibility controls and inheritance.
So you can, for example, have a private class variable initialized with class constructor (which avoids code in the INITIALIZATION section) and accessed via a read-only class property (which is impossible with unit-level variables). These “advanced” features are there to provide better encapsulation. And if you don’t need object-oriented programming, I don’t think they’re going to harm you or your programs, either.
