I think you are correct if one is running FSK but most
people, at least a lot of people these days are
running AFSK, so need linear amps.  One would just
about have to build a Class C amp these days anyway. I don't know of any on the market.

Whether a RTTY signal is generated by actually shifting the frequency of an oscillator or by driving an SSB transmitter with a single tone that changes frequency, the result is the same: a continuous signal whose frequency shifts between two values.

In other words there's no difference between FSK and what people call AFSK except the means used to generate it; and it can be amplified with a class-C amplifier if you wish!
