Why? If you're on Windows and managing Windows, you just use WinRM for a PowerShell session. Even then, though, most of the tools support RPC so your tools already communicate with remote systems.
"No SSH" doesn't mean "no remote management capability." SSH hasn't been available because you don't need it unless you need to manage a Linux system or a network device. The only reason it's being introduced now is because people like to use git, and git fucking sucks if you're not in a POSIX environment.
At the time I wanted to manage my only Windows box remotely, and from mobile devices that had nothing but ssh and vnc. (SSH being the clear winner there.)
