Why would anyone want to focus a Label?
From the delphi help (I wondered myself also)

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.
Not publising it causes delphi incompatebilities.
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.
That not the reason they are in delphi I guess.
