Bower dependencies in `bower.json` were removed in #11073 in the migration from Bower to npm.
These dependencies should not have been removed as the Bower package still require `jquery` and `what-input`. Someone installing `foundation-sites` with bower should still have these packages included. We simply don't use Bower anymore in development mode and don't promote its usage in the documentation.
Removing `bower install` commands was sufficiant for this migration and Bower dependencies in `bower.json` were unrelated.
