I'm guessing it's for the use case where you "adb shell" into the phone, and want to ssh elsewhere (where dynamically-linked Termux binaries would not work)....
Edit: .. though, one could always just start an ssh server in Termux in the OS for this.
Maybe it's if you want to have ssh and rsync in the recovery or fastboot modes? Just in case you can't get (or don't want) to run the android system?
Edit2: Ah. It's for when you want to use another app that can call system commands, without having to build ssh and rsync into the app, nor spawn an intermediate termux process from the app. It cuts out the middle-man. That is quite useful.
