This comes across as quite scathing critique of an open source tool that has provided an extremely high standard of security and reliability over decades, despite being built on technologies that don’t offer the guardrails outlined in points (1) and (2).

Point (3) seems like a personal attack on the developers/reviewer, who made human errors. Humans do in fact make mistakes, and the best build toolchain/test suite in the world won’t save you 100% of the time.

Point (4) seems to imply that OpenSSH is not well-engineered, simple, or written by good programmers. While all of that is fairly subjective, it is (I feel) needlessly unkind.

I’d invite you to recommend an alternative remote access technology with an equivalent track record of security and stability in this space — I’m not aware of any.
