In my naive opinion, there are some subtle differences with where "the linux box you can ssh into" resides.

Namely, when I ran my server at home, it took a search warrant to legally enter my house to access the server, which I would be immediately made aware of. I can't say the same with the same degree of certainty for a server located in a co-location facility.

I'm obviously ignoring someone compromising the system across the network. Though even then, I can disconnect the server from the outside world and still access it from my home.
