You are correct, I would never suggest anyone have an FTP client; I have that service turned off on every machine I administer. SSH / SFTP are fundamental tools however.
They are provided out of the box (and newer versions than OSX ships with) by WSL. As is vim, emacs, apt, etc.
Done. Pro-tip. Pin PowerShell to your taskbar and drag all the way left. Now you can open it with win+1.
Edit: now with no mouse required!
Edit: for reference, home also doesn't come with bitlocker (!?), Domain join, Group Policy, client hyper-v, and others. Don't buy home to do work.

Pedantry at its finest.
I have neither ssh nor sftp on my workstation and I have no need for either.
The ability to edit text _does_ ship on windows - notepad. (not that I'd recommend it but it does exist). Also, OSX doesn't ship with anything better.
FTP isn't a fundamental requirement for everyone, I don't have an FTP client installed on my machine, and don't have any intention of installing one.
