What if the root htaccess file becomes corrupt or won't be renamed during installation ?
Would you leave users.xml files w/o protection ?
Changing piece of core functionality of well made software, to make it work on one specific provider, is in my taste a completely selfish request. The more, plugins also use standalone htaccess files with deny commands. How would you solve that problem ?
ps. you can always try with creating your own rewrite rules in root directory like
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (directory1 | dir2 | dir3)
RewriteRule .* - [F]
or
<Directory /dir1>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
