The command you give is always handled on the server by your shell in some

It's not obvious why does it have to be this way. ssh sends the command
as an array of strings. The first string is the command, and the
subsequent strings are arguments. It can easily call the same command
with the same arguments on the remote host.
Also this sentence from the man page seems to be false:

of a login shell.
Login shell still interprets the command. Interestingly, the shell
process isn't running on the remote host, the command is a direct child
of sshd.
