The reason? It offered no connectivity to MS Sql server.

Other people successfully connected to MSSQL from Kylix using 3rd party
drivers. I'd hardly expect Borland to provide one since there wasn't
(and still isn't) support from MS for it.

So much for cross-platform if Kylix can't connect to Windows
databases.

Cross-platform in this sense means being able to compile the app for
Linux or Windows with little or no changes to the code.
