But it does. This is explained in the docs. The existing FTP support is bad and updating it to make it secure is a ton of work.
Fire Extinguishers and Spare Tires are safety features. When they are needed, they become absolutely critical. It is also very difficult to predict when they will be needed because they are the result of errors rather than intentional behavior.

In-browser FTP is nothing like that.
