FTP is something completely different to Pocket. FTP is a standardized protocol.

Browsers never had decent ftp support, true. They just allow you to list directories and download stuff. But on the other hand, the FTP support doesn't cost anything. Don't know much about Pocket to be honest, but this form of integration is much worse than to support a protocol.

Aside from that, maybe using http for downloads is the better alternative today.
