That was always my biggest disappointment with Delphi. Things that were simple, free, and of very high quality in other languages would lead you into a thicket of shady, low quality nagware VCL components that had a tangle restrictions on use and usually a magic DLL blob you were then forced to distribute along with your app.

It was a constant infuriating disappointment. Delphi should have been so much more.

I find that just the default component library of Delphi vastly exceeds what you get these days, for instance in Android or IOS, or (shudder) on the web.

Hell, I miss it. Very much.
