But, if ssh were added to all IOS's, it would greatly reduce the number of routers that could *not* include SSH due to flash limitations...

It would however increase the number of routers that can't go to IOS 12.foo because of flash limitations. If the image won't fit, the image *won't fit*. And hand-waving it into the next IOS release won't make it fit any better. There's support issues as well - if IOS 12.foo doesn't fit, they get to carry around support for IOS 12.foo and 12.(foo-1). And it seems there's been enough released values of 'foo' already...
