I tried CT when it was suggested that it was better at GTK3 than Lazarus. I found it was no better, in fact, marginally worse. The real difference is that CT tells its users GTK3 is usable, its NOT ! (Hmm, interesting, I cannot find those statements there now, I find google references but empty links.)
I also found it to be a massive download as mentioned by Handoko and is treated as one uniform product, you cannot pick and choose.
And, as mentioned, the license situation is untenable.
So, a more sensible question might be "why would you choose to use CodeTyphoon" ?

Are you saying that there are components in ct4laz that have your patches? If so then please identify them and I will kick them out.

To anyone new and reading this, PLEASE REMEMBER, that CodeTyphon is very bulky with too many things preinstalled. This is unnecessary and distracting.
Lazarus is the objectively better choice because whatever you find in CodeTyphon, you can use the exact same component in Lazarus but you'll have to install it yourself.
ORCA is better in CodeTyphon (it's a remake of GLSCene; the devs there do that with a lot of stuff) and easier to use, but the very few components aren't worth using CodeTyphon for.

However this is an old discussion, I would like to add one important plus for Code Typhon. It can build MacOS app on the latest MacOS release. Lazarus fails at the linking phase due to a simple change on MacOS level, which could be easy to fix in the distribution of Lazarus, but the team did not issue that important fix since two years now. It is available in not official releases, but it is very hard to get it up and running on MacOS for an average user.
Code Typhon is compiling and linking the MacOS app without the issue, so at least you do not need to solve the problem by installing a virtual machine with an older version of MacOS to be able to compile your Mac App.
