Btw. no sane commercial Delphi developer has ever considered using a

Most likely because the 'compatibility mechanism' is not very effective.
No, also to be able to maintain the component (fix bugs and look at the
implementation). Both the companies I did Delphi work for professionaly,
mandated full source for the components.
I would never buy or use components without sources. All components I
ever bought/downloaded contained bugs, without exception, and we can't
wait for the company to fix them.
