Lots of configuration needed to be able to just send or receive files.

Am I supposed to make another account just for receiving files? What if I get it wrong?

How will I keep track of the long password I suddenly need or the keys I'm going to have to share?

And then I'm going to need a new app anyway because mobile has no builtin SSH.

And then there's no UI, so I'll have to do lots of typing and it will be more work unless you touch type...

SSH is great but this is a specific use case they're making a dedicated app for, that makes it easy and doesn't add more configuration, which I'd then have to maintain maybe want a dotfile management tool.

There's so many pieces to a CLI workflow. It's awesome if you do the kind of work that benefits from it already and everything's set up, but... I don't use SSH at home. Or have a dotfile management system. Or manage files often on the CLI.
