Example: Social is trendy so FPC/Lazarus should come with components

For adding components someone needs to have
a) the time
and
b) the interest
to implement them. I don't doubt that there are developers that have
both, but maybe they want to spent their time on other features that
they want to see implemented in Lazarus first.
(Note: I myself don't have (b) ;) )
I often find myself needing a library ported to FPC. Recently I came
across the Lucene project. With Lucene developers can create full
text search / document searches. I need a lucene component or
something like it. Enterprise search is BIG. It would be ideal.
Then you get in the search engines for Lucene keyword and voila - a
developer is going to evaluate Lazarus/FPC for adoption. But the more
developed these components are the better chance will be for the
developer to recommend Lazarus. And for the firm/institution will
approve it.
There is the ioda search engine which is written in Free Pascal. I have
never tried it yet, but it's on my radar:
