There could be several reasons, for instance:
1. SSH is all what is necessary
2. it's probably easier to have *one* VPN and then be able to ssh to dozens of
other machines instead of setting up VPN on all of them and running several VPN
tunnels at once

Still doesn't stop those brute-force attacks. It just makes them fail. That's the
point about moving port etc., not the security.
