* Because it would be idiotic to change something based on a point of
view of one person.

It's not just one person. Lets just take the Rectangle type/structure.

* Delphi has it's own (based on Windows TRect - how original)

left,top,right,bottom

* fpGUI has it's own: TfpgRect

tell us

* MSEgui has it's own: rectty

left,top,width,height

* AggPas has it's own: rect_ptr, rect_d, rect_i

doubles and C int type. Aggpas is a C port. C people are used to reinvent the wheel.

* KOL probably has it's own too

no

* ... pretty sure there are more....

As far as I can see, every one of the above has a good reason to use their own type.
