If you cut that out then not much reasons are left for Pascal IDE which would not rely on PSoC Creator IDE (and such integration would be hard to achieve with such closed source IDE). And if you do not need peripheral components that badly, then something like STM32 has much better pricing and already has FreePascal support.

Note that PSoC runs 48 MHz and the STM32 only 24 MHz. This can make a big difference.

There's a number of recent incarnations of the generic "blue pill" chipped for 72MHz. That, plus an underlying architecture that has very wide industry support, makes an even bigger difference.
HOWEVER: the bottom line, as it has been since the earliest days of microcontrollers, is that you select your chip based on the integrated peripherals.
