Unfortunately FTP is still used by a concerning large number of support sites with file stores (think manufacturer driver downloads). Personally, I don't mind using a different application to handle FTP as long as the application handling works fine (ie Chrome/FF hand off the URL to an external application like mailto: links, rather than showing you an error page of some sort). However, I feel like this change has little to do with FTP itself; rather, it might be coming from Chrome's desire to remove the protocol from the navigation bar.
