Actually, I'm trying to find the mention in the manpage
that started this and can't find it. It doesn't mention
[arguments...] after [command] like I think the OP
asked to have removed. I must be misremembering. The
synopsis ends with: "[command]". And the DESCRIPTION
section (paragraph 3) says:
If a command is specified, it is executed on the
remote host instead of a login shell.
I can't see where it says that arguments are joined
with a space. Maybe I'm reading it wrong.
I'm on macOS with ssh installed from homebrew.

DESCRIPTION
ssh (SSH client) is a program for logging into a remote machine
and for executing
commands on a remote machine. It is intended to provide secure
encrypted
communications between two untrusted hosts over an insecure
network. X11
connections, arbitrary TCP ports and UNIX-domain sockets can also
be forwarded over
the secure channel.
ssh connects and logs into the specified destination, which may be
specified as
either [user@]hostname or a URI of the form
ssh://[user@]hostname[:port]. The user
must prove their identity to the remote machine using one of
several methods (see
below).
If a command is specified, it will be executed on the remote host
instead of a login
shell. *A complete command line may be specified as command, or it
may have**
** additional arguments. If supplied, the arguments will be
appended to the command,**
** separated by spaces, before it is sent to the server to be executed.*
