Nothing stops you from doing this yourself.
But for something as basic as text operations, I think this is bloat.
Imagine that you would have to do
I:=TInteger.Create(1);
J:=TInteger.Create(2);
I.Add(J);
What kind of language do you end up with then ? Utterly unreadable, and
slow, because heavily relying on the heap.

Bad example
Numbers are scalars
Strings are vectors
+= operator in not so straightforward as for numbers.
Who else except Pascal developers knows that s:=s1+s2 is the string
concatenation and invokes lot of hidden stuff that is out of control.
