That isn't even true for all Linux variants.  On at least Debian and
derivatives including Ubuntu, it's usually dash not bash:

$ uname -a
Linux ajax 6.8.0-117-generic #117-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue May
5 19:26:24 UTC 2026 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ ls -l /bin/sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Mar 31  2024 /bin/sh -> dash

There is no guarantee that bash is even installed on every system
OpenSSH works on, so that's definitely out.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
