FPC under Windows uses its own internal assembler and linker (and resource compiler, too?). Is it still necessary to have them? If not, why bloat the installer with them?

At times, they can be useful for bugs (or missing features) in the internal linker.
The external assembler comes in handy if you compile with -alr. Then you are sure that the shown assembler in the .s files is the same assembler as used when compiling/running your program/units.
