"Almost all" might have been hyperbole, but "many" is certainly true.

On the other hand, HTTP is clearly far superior to FTP, especially if you include extensions like WebDAV and the power of custom headers.

I was just pointing out, insecure formats that don't define how to do listings or set mod times or deal with Unix permissions can be quite good. FTP sucks mostly because of the ports/multiple connection issue, as you pointed out.
