maybe its useful but on the other hand its bad decision if user want to hide it in order to avoid bots attacks for vulnerable versions (for surely it should be left not updated for long time BUT still optional setting is preferable for the user to choose hide it or not)

Default can be show version , but at least provide easy option to hide.

Im trying to hide the ability to show my host details from OpenSSH on
GNU/Linux Debian using this method:

Add the following line to /etc/ssh/sshd_config

DebianBanner no

And restart your SSH daemon: /etc/init.d/ssh restart or service ssh restart

This doent change anything.

Another question why user cant hide SSH info as well? why it needs to be
publicly visible? (I read that only recompiling would fix that but this is
pain in the neck)

It's public because it's used to make compatibility decisions, see compat.c
in the OpenSSH source distrubution.
