SSH and the like tunnel other protocols - which adds a considerable overhead over narrow bandwidth links. They're also optimised for wired connections - large packet sizes and low latency.

More lightweight solutions don't tunnel, don't add overhead, and tend to be designed to work for smaller packet sizes and higher latencies.
