The same could be said for a webserver, a radius server, etc. I mean ssh "requires" a network to be remotely useful :)

I can probably list at least a few dozen things that all require certificates though, which was really my point. Everything has dependencies.

Also if you just... Don't trust big tech, run your own CA.
