I usually use freebsd-update in a sudo -s shell and have never had
prompts to remove system files like the OP had.

Unfortunately I can't talk from experience about the 12.2 -> 13.0
upgrade as I did a complete wipe and reinstall so I could switch from
BIOS to UEFI booting. However I can say the files that were going to be
removed do exist under 13.0:

arthur@arthur[1]> ls /etc/pam.d
atrun   ftp     imap    other   pop3    sshd    system  xdm
cron    ftpd    login   passwd  README  su      telnetd
