I don’t think your getting the point. They are no longer considered freeze plugs because frozen engine blocks are no longer a concern in the industry due to the widespread use of anti-freeze. Now their sole purpose is to remove mold casting sand from the coolant passages at the foundry. Ford must have figured a friction fit plug might be a reliability issue in a engine that would be run extensively at high rpm (including the water pump).
