Because of collision: though hardly documented in the early Delphi days the standard function TypeInfo has been there forever so System.TypeInfo already takes TypeInfo in the global namespace as the System unit is used by default and doesn’t have a namespace prefix.
One more reason to suffix unit names with a word like Unit.
And one more reason to always get a Delphi version with source code for RTL/VCL/…: it’s an invaluable source for not so well documented things.
