I would bet they were already defined, they are extremely old.

Less work to port between LCL platforms. If you use LCL-Qt in all
platforms your port effort between them is minimal (if necessary),
both because you are using the same LCL-Qt codebase instead of
multiple widgetset codes with various states of supported components
and because Qt is not a native toolkit, it just looks native but has
custom painting which helps it be very consistent across platforms.
