Because they are programmers. They simply do it their way. And I'm 
especially talking about code written by two different programmers, one 
storing the instance somewhere and the other passing in an "auto" 
instance without knowing that the other programmer is storing it somewhere.

No, it's not. And we don't *want* to change the paradigm of TObject.
