WHY Does FastCGI Cache Option install W3 Total Cache?

v3
#1

EE offers four caching options: No Cache, WP Super Cache, W3 Total Cache and FastCGI Cache.

But I’ve discovered whenever I opt for FastCGI Cache, W3 Total Cache is ALWAYS installed. Why is this the case? Is FastCGI dependent on W3TC in any way?

#2

For NGINX fastcgi is used for full page cache and we install w3tc for object and database cache

Then this should probably be named FactCGI Cache + W3TC, as the name is misleading.
