Why it is so? What if I want just to port to windows 64 and other 
platforms are not important? Maybe to have an option for this?

And even if we need an LCL equivalents then we need to replace Messages 
unit with Messages, LMessages. Imo Windows and LMessages are not very 
related.

Leave as is - ShellApi is availble in fpc for the windows platform.
