libssh is pretty niche. This isn't openssh.

  So "niche" it was used by github, albeit in a configuration that protected them from this

  libssh is used because openssh isn't suited to be used as a library. So it's one of the most popular ways to automate the most popular remote shell protocol. It's not really niche - I'd say it's an average popularity library and likely used by a bunch of internal projects.

    The libssh client code is used pretty commonly for that sort of thing. The libssh server code, on the other hand, is pretty niche.
