Is there any reason to have a root-enabled (or any) ssh server exposed to the bare Internet? Any at all? Can you name 
one? I can’t. That’s basically pilot error.

Root enabled? No. Otherwise, yes. At $DAYJOB we have a SFTP server that is exposed to the internet so that we can 
exchange data files with various partners. Sure, in theory you could move that to an HTTPS server, but then you'd have 
to agree on some API and everyone on both ends would have to write and maintain server/client implementations of those 
APIs.
