Because this allows people to use scp and nothing else; mooting your argume=
nt:

''SFTP is better than scp if you just want to transfer files, as the users
dont have to have shell access to the box to use the openssh SFTP

How difficult is it to install a port, really? Do you ever run with
just the base system?
