What chance is there that grep doesn't exist on a machine that has ssh and cat?

Having some undesired grep version could be one reason but not enough to justify piping everything before grep in the example.




There are systems with SSH that are not Unix. For instance, Cisco switches support SSH but don't have a grep. (They do have an equivalent, but it's unfamiliar and likely less feature-rich)
