No ubuntu doesn't have it enabled out of the box. It doesn't even install it out of the box.
I can safely say I have NEVER had a linux machine which I did not have SSH running on.
SSH is used for a lot more than just logging in remotely. It is used by the fish protocol, the sftp protocol for starters, and these are integrated right into Kong and Dolphin, and work amazingly well.
Yee on one computer may not think you need this. You install Samba and and smbfs/CIFS and then worry about the security risks of ssh. Unbelievable!!!
