Socket activation is prone to DoS (denial of service) because too many
connections will permanently deactivate sshd.socket [1]. Also, since
socket units do not allow setting Restart, accepting new connections can
fail due to, for example, OOM (out of memory) [2]. Therefore, it seems
more sensible to use sshd.service by default and let sshd.socket be an
optional choice.
