If I understand the issue correctly, GUI programming was originally defined in terms of a predefined form size containing vector-drawn components: there might be issues with jaggies or imprecise positioning due to numeric rounding but in general content could be scaled to fit its container.
Scalable layouts can be handled in different ways. E.g. Java prefers layout managers, MS prefers twips (bound to text resolution), Delphi choose pixel coordinates and overall scaling of forms, and Lazarus AnchorDocking and ChildSizing goes even more different routes.
The problem in the subject is a different one: there exists *no* way to specify the extent of the *content* (client) part of a window, and let the window manager adjust the *overall* size of the window accordingly, depending on border and caption styles. No problem for Delphi, but the LCL doesn't support that yet :-(
