HTTP is objectively better then FTP for downloading files. For remote file management and uploading there are other options besides WebDAV (itself a HTTP protocol extension), such as SSH/SFTP. Basically the only case I can think of that needs FTP are people wanting to access a shared-webhost web-space. And FTP works fine for them already, and they aren’t using Chrome to update their site either - so no loss.
