I think that sshd will be necessary on _most_ machines I install. I'm
likely to be the one who does maintenance on them, and to do that
maintenance I need to connect to machines remotely. That means
openssh-server.
Sure, I can do this after installing, but atm there's no simple way to
automate that.
It may not be necessary _for you_, but your judging my requirements is
silly.
Quite recently, my boss was on the other side of the world wanting
something done to his Mac. It was unbelievably difficult to explain to
him how to do something that would have taken me a minute or two and a
commandline.
