Just touching on this one part, the rest still applies, openssh does use fuzzing. [0][1] Both client and daemon are fuzzed using AFL, though it does seem to be on an ad-hoc basis rather than automated, but it generally happens before a new release.
Unfortunately, to run AFL on openssh, they do have to patch it a bit, so what gets fuzzed and what is released isn't 1-to-1. This is because the privilege separations tend to defeat methods of detecting most of those sorts of bugs on their own.
