I remember Delphi adding many Windows features before Visual Studio. Windows Vista Aero support, Support for building native apps for the Microsoft Store, etc.
Delphi never shipped with bindings for 100% of the APIs, but the beauty of Delphi was I could create my own bindings with only a little code from Delphi, so it wasn't a roadblock. That is the huge difference between Delphi and non-native development tools: You aren't held back by lack of libraries or API bindings.

Also how come Embarcadero supports Windows features before Microsoft does? I am a big Object Pascal/C++ Buider fan, but also acknowledge the reality of their actual support.
