Hi,
as a Debian/LXD user I Don *not* expect a default image to listen on the network - especially with Lxd that has an easy to use built-in console/shell access.
That way I can for example install and expose only opensmtpd as a public facing mail server, and not worry that any other component (eg openssl) allows remote login etc.
For certain deployments it might make sense to expose ssh on a "container" or single-service/single-purpose image/vm - but not in general, IMNHO.
Best regards,
Eirik Schwenke
