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

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.
