Huh? What are you talking about? An ssh server is *not* installed by default, and I don't even know what "sslh" is. > which are > primarily used for server purposes.

You do mean an ssh *server*, right? Not an ssh client? I'd say there's a substantially large number of desktop systems where an ssh server is installed for a large variety of reasons. But, again, this is not the default. You have to select that during the installation, or after the installation.
