This is by means of explanation, not trying to argue for or against a position. The people I've heard from want, for reasons I at least hinted at, nothing to do with VPS setups. They are running their own servers on their own premises.
My server is a Dell PowerEdge R410 from about 2010 that I bought used in 2016. It is in a rack in a basement room in Ithaca, which I visit from time to time. It runs web servers and ssh and scp and rsync just fine, along with an FTP server nobody uses. I copy most stuff in and out using scp as do most of my users.
I believe there are still a few people who believe that only FTP works for them and are unwilling to install ssh (or more likely, to use the ssh they already have) but I don't see why that is our problem.
