Yes, I do. I also do know how LCL works internally.
As you can see below in MVC's reply, he actually confirms my point.

LCL is not going to be network based, for one simple reason - it
technically cannot - too much is bound to low lever WinAPI-like functions.

And of course, a web-framework can be created based on Lazarus. But using
Lazarus as IDE only (or at least - package manager).
So to be more accurate a web-framework will be Free Pascal based.

thanks,
Dmitry
