If every class extended FinalizableObject then all the implementation could go there, but we have to try and split things across FinalizableObject and Finalizable because some classes only implement the interface - this leads to some unfortunate design choices.

That could allow the removal of the Finalizable interface and simplify the general usage patterns. But that may be going too far for this particular PR ... ?
