This is by design.

The state of a component cannot be manipulated directly.

The csLoading state of a component is set by the reader by accessing the private fields of TComponent directly.
The author of fpGUI wanted to set the csLoading component without using a reader.

So the Loading() method was introduced to set csLoading, but it is by design not used by the reader.
