And how will you sort out the bugs, when someone says something
doesn't work, and we have no clue if that's on top of the KIO stack
or on top of the FUSE stack? Am I the only one who sees a problem
with "multiple backends" approaches? N times the maintainance,
N times the headache. And all this for providing a bad (because blocking) 
solution to non-kde apps !?

Ah! Why am I not surprised...
And if that's a problem for FTP, it most certainly is a problem with
other protocols.
