Why crippled?
When FPC does not allow to use delegation ("implements") together with
implementing selected methods, this feature is of no practical use :-(
There exists at least a bug report about it:

Also the hype about CORBA interfaces looks like mere eye-candy or
obfuscation to me. Delphi interfaces require neither COM nor CORBA, they
are only open in either direction.
But some people don't like the reference counting. They want to use
interfaces like in other languages to just define a "interface" to a class.
Since reference counting must be implemented, it also can be implemented
as *not* counting references. Similar to AnsiString constants, which
also live forever. A simple _AddRef after creation of an interfaced
object achieves almost the same effect.
