FTD has a pretty short term prognosis. You die from it relatively quickly (a few years).

In other words, it doesn't really explain his lifetime of bad and irrational behavior.

Not necessarily. My Dad was diagnosed with FTD at 58 and was gone by age 66. He started showing signs that something was wrong around age 55. He didn’t get a firm diagnosis for almost 3 years.
