Speaking of Pascal, https://wim.vree.org/gpjs/ was one of my favourite games around that time and was written in Pascal. I even have the source code for some reason (I think it was actually released at some point.)

Tyrian, my favorite shmup of the 90s, was also written in Pascal.

McMartin: Delphi remains around for the same reasons COBOL and a terrifying amount of Microsoft Access files do: Corporate, especially financial, embrace.

Someone built the thing back when there weren't useful non-homebrew alternatives (or in COBOL's days, really /any/ alternatives) and there isn't really much benefit to paying to have someone rewrite thirty years of code tweaks and updates and edge cases and and and... just to change platforms.
