Hello,
I've used nginx as a webserver on several machines in many contexts for a long time, and I've never needed to use scripts in the apache package. Perhaps your use case is not as universal as you're making it out to be.
The ht scripts are for BASIC authentication, if you have not needed to do BASIC authentication you would not need these scripts.
See: https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/security-controls/configuring-http-basic-authentication/
The nginx documentation uses these scripts, so unless you want to rewrite all of the nginx documentation into the Arch Wiki to be "Arch compliant", users got to either install a secondary web server for a use of a small script, or they have to find their own way of doing things without using the nginx documentation!
