Well, Windows only comes with a telnet client (though not a very good
one).  This pretty much obligates you to install e.g. putty on Windows
machines in order to communicate with sshd.  So ubiquity is probably
telnet's outstanding "redeeming feature".

Also, I guess some governments still don't like encryption, and the last
I knew packet radio didn't allow it.
