James,

this reads like an ideological pamphlet from someone triggered by the wrong hot button words. It seems you're unfamiliar with details.

No one is exchanging 25519 or 448 keys as anything but fixed-length strings. The mpint encoding of the shared secret isn't sent on the wire. It is involved strictly in the SSH parties' private calculation of the exchange hash
