This should probably be removed.  I just was a bit reluctant to do it
because it might come in handy if you have AUCTeX installed but only
want to use font-latex from it.  Although I don't know if this will be
possible at all.

Yes, something like that.

It's not just `TeX-esc'.  font-latex.el uses other functions of tex.el
as well.

We haven't had any complaints after introducing the dependency on
AUCTeX, so I doubt there are currently people using it outside of
AUCTeX.  At least a recent version of it.

Hm, maybe the installation routine could rename an old version in case
it encounters one.  But I am not really fond of such solutions.
