Actually they do allow (and sometimes encourage) you to connect over ssh, and they have bash with history... but the file is written inside a directory called $HOME/data (which is writeable).
Openshift is a nice service. I've used it for some time now, no issues whatsoever, but (there is always a but)... sometimes they take the way people normally work in UNIX, put it in a blender, and serve that. Even regular applications like wordpress get completely modified beyond recognition (I'm talking about directory structure). I suppose it has something to do with the fact they sell the product as a PaaS, so it's easy to setup and run from the outside. Yet, under the hood, they've got the most complicated ways to make it work. $HOME pointing to a non writable directory goes with that philosophy.
