I'm not sure this is accurate, but I don't think it matters.

I don't believe that it is true that ssh is not perceived as a good
fit for call home. I think the strongest statement I've seen in that
regard is that ssh is not the solution netconf chose for call home, so
we might end up with incompatible solutions if ISMS chooses a
different solution than netconf.
Note that the mandatory to implement solution for netconf is based on
ssh and does not support call home.
