There are certainly cases that is true for almost any command. There have
been many times where ssh and openssh were not fully compatible.

An even more classic example is "sendmail" where multiple commands that
are not sendmail claim to be that on many systems and provide interface
compatibility. This to the point that standards now recognize it as an
interface naming not just an application.
