You don't mention whether your surprise was about the preferred  
IND$FILE or that FTP is a customizable alternative.  I suspect you  
meant the former; I'm more surprised by the latter.

Well definitely the former. Even the WEB3270  thing used it for file transfer 
and was picky about QUERY bits.. Took a very  long time for FTP and emulators 
to get up to speed on VB. Must of restored  user.FONTLIBB a dozen times 
before finally figured out they were using FTP of  some fashion to destroy it. 
It 
was easy to spot with the x'FA's all over the  place. Switched over to IND$FILE 
and it went away.
 
Funny thing about emulators, so many options  and some many twiddlers. Some 
provide new their own FTP, some don't. My  favorite was the reinstall of 
Windows(twice), and hard drive replacement to  find the green screen had been 
'customized' to have same color blue for  foreground and background... 
 
For small files speed was irrelevant
