It does seem pretty odd - why do I have to explicitly enable ssh during installation? In previous releases, sshd was always active. To anyone with more than one box, sshd is a must - to anyone with only one box, it doesn't do any harm.
On most users machines (I estimate 95%+), the firewall is enabled and the ssh port not open. For them sshd running is useless and just costs startup time and resources. Also, if normal user disable the firewall and have too easy passwords, they are affectable by these days SSH worms.
