I thought I explained why :)

When you hardcode one color, no matter where, they become useless _and_
you can't know whether your hardcoded background color clashes with the
theme's foreground color for that widget.

Yes. But overriding the theme color should be hard(er) for the
programmer, shouldn't it?

Exactly. Hence ~/.gtkrc-2.0 for the user to be able to configure it (and
lazarus also allows you to ship a ${APPNAME}rc file to be able as a
programmer to set defaults) - the idea is similar to CSS, really.
