That is not and was never the motivation of FTP. FTP was about not wanting to have to hide a zillion functions from Prelude, Data.List, Control.Applicative, and Control.Monad. Functors are utterly ubiquitous in Haskell programming, so adding an operator to make them easier to use seems quite sensible.

I always import Foldable, Traversable, Data.List with qualification. No need to hide something.
