If I understand GP correctly, the goal is to SSH into an RPi on a home network. Since they mention DDNS, it's implied that they're connecting directly to their home router. What I'm saying is why not port forward directly to the RPi?

Yes you are right. If just connecting to the Pi, port forwarding is fine (and I use this).

When adding more devices at home (IP cameras etc.) and not connecting just to the Pi then the Wireguard VPN comes in.
