Your question was this:

>So what’s the difference in risk of ssh software vulns and other software vulns?

I proceeded to explain how large companies think about the issue and what their rationale is for not exposing SSH endpoints to the public internet. On the technical side, I compared SSH to WireGuard.

For that comparison, the chattiness of their respective protocols was directly relevant.

Likewise complexity: between two highly-audited pieces of software, the silent one that's vastly simpler tends to win from a security perspective.

All of those points seem highly relevant to your question.

>... but thats not going to make you correct in the original question.

If you can elucidate what I said that was incorrect, I'm all ears.
