Why not?

  ssh probably doesn't read the password from stdin.

  This is also a really annoying habit: giving a crap answer and then demanding an explanation of how it fails. The meta-answer: if it was this easy people wouldn't keep asking about it. For decades now! When I tried it fifteen years ago ssh insisted on reading the password from keyboard input, not stdin.
