The .htaccess files heavily affect performance when enabled and only work with Apache HTTPd.

Contao developers should find a way to stop using them so that Apache would be faster without them and Contao would work equally well/secure with alternative web servers such as nginx.

Most of these files are used for security reasons, making sure that some files won't be readable by the users. In this case they could be obsoleted by making sure there's no sensitive data stored in the web root directory. Other cases need to be investigated.
