If you are offering support to someone, sometimes there is a need to log
in remotely. If sshd is not installed by default, you need to give
instructions how to do it. The easier those instructions are, the
better. Probably
zypper install sshd
rcsshd start
would be the best, but it means the sshd port needs to be opened by
default in the firewall.

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.
