>I can understand the browser vendors wanting to make the code base smaller.

That's an excellent point...

...So they'll be removing their builtin pdf viewer first then, right? That's a much much bigger chunk of code than an ftp client. Or are they both scheduled to be removed at the same time? I suppose that would be reasonable.

Mozilla did great decision for security: develop PDF viewer as pdf.js. It works same as other webapps so no longer considered to attack surface, not like integrated PDF viewer, IIUC.
