SSH and Internet Facing Devices

Why would someone run an internet-facing device with SSH open to the world, in the first place? This should be protected by VPN and a firewall, or at least behind some type of firewall. I can't imagine why anyone would have SSH facing the whole internet. That's just asking for trouble.
