The comments about Ed25519 versus Ed448 were meant for the general case of their use, and not (necessarily) strictly in the use for SSH. However, the reason for Ed25519 use in OpenSSH is because the keys are much smaller, and easier to cut&

More importantly (IMHO): ssh-keygen(1): generate Ed25519 keys by default. Ed25519 public keys are very convenient due to their small size. Ed25519 keys are specified in RFC 8709 and OpenSSH has supported them since version 6.5
