I genuinely courious to know, why has this very old and established protocol lost over cloud solutions like Nextcloud (or even Google Drive)?

note: the question is for both FTPs or sFTP

"with an nice client?"

You gave the answer to yourself. There aren't any user friendly multi-platform clients with synchronization / conflict resolution / versioning.

    that is what I'm going to, besides interfaces from the 90s, what else is missing?

    Document editing, photo storage, sorting, and ai tagging, sharing, chat functions, maps, email, music, document sharing, etc.

    They aren’t even near to the same thing. It’s like asking “why do you have that smartphone when you can use your Motorola brick phone? They both take mobile phone calls, one just has an interface from the 90s”
