It's public key because it's named such in the context of public key cryptography. But not all public keys should be available to public.
Ideally by default ssh client should use a different key pair for each server('s public key) it connects to. Some people want to hide their identity, for example Tox people chose to be anonymous, what SSH does goes against expectations so it has the ability to betray their choice.
