Is this new? I don't think this I new. I know I have certainly used FTP to upload new htaccess files back when FTP was a thing, oh some 20 years ago or so.

The default configuration of apache hides at least the ht files.
Files ".ht*">
Require all denied
</Files>
I would not suggest you change that to ".*"

Seems like a bad idea to me, bit then again running ftp at all in 2021 seems like a bad idea to me.

Not sure what the means, but "I want to do <thing> but I don't want to do anything that is necessary to do <thing> is a bad opening position." It is quite possible the solution to what you want to do will require a different ftp server, so you refusing to consider that is not going to solve your problem.

Nope. I have never done this nor would I ever do this nor can I think of a scenario where I would want to do this, but I am probably missing something.
For example, if I don't want a user to much with some htacess settings, I put those in a directory above the one the user has access to.
