A while ago using TELNET to connect to a database or BBS was fairly
common. Using SSH now just reflects some updates we have got since
then.

$ telnet horizons.jpl.nasa.gov 6775

Most text based protocols still look just like a specialised shell we
could plug directly into INETD or use as shell of a real user account.
