We have customers that batch upload data to our cloud service. We originally only offered HTTPS uploads but found a significant number of our customers really preferred SFTP workflows. My best guess as to why is that WinSCP provides a comfortable UI paradigm and there isn't an equivalent (well known) windows GUI for doing HTTPS uploads. Our SFTP server is written in go and exposes a VFS that has nothing to do with anything on the local file system. It doesn't even allow you to download the files you just uploaded in the same session. Of course things like the recent libssh CVEs should make anyone exposing non-standard ssh services to the internet a bit nervous.
