I don't think this use case is a good example of why sshd is important
to most users of a 'mostly-desktop' machine. Do you know many people
who often install their desktop and need to copy the logs from the
installation to somewhere else?

I use sshd daily too, but I know how to enable it if I need it. People
who don't use sshd also don't know how to disable it... And I'd tend to
agree that most desktop users don't need sshd. So it makes sense to me
to disable it for desktop installs.
