A statictext is a TWinControl descendant, it has a handle and can be

Why would anyone want to focus a Label?
Plus, statictext uses native controls. I need to check, but I would be
surprised if Gtk or Qt allows it´s standard caption control to be
focused. publising this properties might cause cross-platform issues.
Why someone would prefer to use a statictext instead of a TLabel, I
don't know.
TStaticText uses native controls. So it´s easier to be implemented. To
implement TLabel you need to implement a lot of painting and DC
things, as well as many WinAPI functions. To implement TStaticText you
only need to use the native control the widgetset provides. So often
initial interfaces will have static text working but TLabel not.
