Don't forget we're talking smartphone here.
You can't expect a regular user to configure an ssh client on such a platform. That would require all kinds of trickery. Not only because ssh is not installed by default on Android (or any other smartphone). So you would need to put it on an sd-card or so which then would require setting pathnames etc.

Furthermore this network-interface can also be used for chess engines that can't be directly invoked from within the board-program. On Android, one can only do a popen-like construction with native binaries, not for Dalvik (java)-code.
