Remove dependency of api-ms-win-crt-string-l1-1-0.dll from a Delphi 12 FMX Windows app?

Contrary to the tradition of Delphi applications, a completely empty FMX application compiled in Delphi 12 for the Win64 platform has a dependancy of a library that might be not installed on the user's PC.

I found out that the System.Win.Crtl.pas unit contains a dependency on api-ms-win-crt*...dll. There is also a conditional directive:

{$IFDEF UCRT}
{...use these libraies...}
{$ELSE}
  msvcrt = 'msvcrt.dll';

Older Delphi versions always used only msvcrt.dll. I didn't find the UCRT conditional mentioned in the documentation, so is it possible to undefine it and so link to msvcrt.dll only?
