If SSH connectivity was a major reason why Windows malware couldn't propagate to Linux servers, we'd be in very deep shit already.

you miss the point that the right ssh keys will be used by default. currently malware would have to search for and use the keys by itself. now the servers will be on a gold platter, ready to be served
