And what exact benefit would a non-ref counted interface have? Once you pass down some you lose any control over its lifetime.

Obviously for those applications that don't require ref count. And it could simplify importing interfaces from DLLs

BTW, FreePascal has non-refcounted interfaces (CORBA/Java interfaces): https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/prog/progsu37.html#x44-430001.2.37

You can override the counter method to disable it, right?

Yes, surely. And it is possible to inherit an interfaced class not from TInterfacedObject, but from TSingletonImplementation which IS the base interfaced class without refcounting.
