They would be a wicket sin.
I had so much trouble in the Delphi 1 days because so many VCL methods
were needlessly declared "private" instead of protected.
I found hacks round it, of course, but the priorities of the
component-set developer often don't match those of the user who is also
a developer. private and final are a usually poor substitute for
respect and good communication.
