`file-remote-p' is not "based on file-name-handler function". Just like
`copy-file', it is a file operation which can be overridden by file-name
handlers. But for files accessed directly via the OS, it can (and
should) provide any implementation it wants, according to its
intended behavior.
I know it started as a file-name-handler-only thingy, but its new
docstring and this discussion shows that it goes further than that.

Maybe you're thinking of "how can I implement it in Tramp" whereas the
Tramp-side of that function is already implemented and this thread is
not only concerned about its behavior for non-file-name-handled files.
