If you just subclass a class to access a protected property, then that property

Well maybe the component developer wanted to hide that properties from
the end users of the component. Making that property Public makes
that impossible. You cannot decrease visibility in descendant classes.
You can only increase visibility. The rule of thumb (in Object
Pascal) has always been to start with the lowest visibility to
accomplish what you want and then increase visibility as needed.
