Why would I do that? A thread is lighter, it can see the variables I already

What is wrong with threads?
Most programs and algorithms are not thread safe.
So if you start introducing threads, that means that there are a lot more
things that can start going wrong, introducing an extra maintenance
burden on the Lazarus team.
I'm not saying that your code *will* cause things to go wrong;
But once the door is open...
