Just an observation, but those are protocols that require a login before files can be transferred, so at a guess, it reduces the risk of accidentally transferring unnecessary client side information, but it's probably more likely to be for code maintenance reasons. Fewer supported protocols means less to manage going forward.
HTTP(S) is fine for downloads anyway, even if it wasn't originally designed for that.
APT 3.0 is powered by Solver3, a new, more efficient package dependency resolver that significantly improves how package installations and upgrades are handled. As a backtracking algorithm, it allows for more efficient dependency resolution and better handling of complex package conflicts.
That's nice, hope it leads to fewer kernel removals, apt is always so eager to remove the kernel.
