No. The "internet" is literally the "inter-network", a way to connect private networks between each other.
The fact that VPN technologies sit behind proprietary corporate intellectual property is not by design, it is a failure of the internet standardization process as it was gamed by corporate interests.
Because that is how the internet is meant to work. It is an end-to-end network. If SSH would not be secure enough to handle this, it would need a secure replacement.

What is a NAS, if not a Network-Attached Storage, i.e. meant to be accessed from the network? The concept of a ”local”, ”secure” network is a dangerous illusion. Embrace ”zero trust” networking.
