Little prevents you from sticking in your own replacement for ftp(1), though. I think I would use editors as the example. Every OS I have used has shipped with some text editor. Every unix I have used has supplied ed(1), but don't keep me from installing vi, or emacs, or anything else. For the mot part, they don't claim that things won't work as well if I do install a third party editor either.
