Hi Anthony,
While its good to have development of new features which we all welcome, enabling them by default is not always a good thing. Case in point, backups automatically running, this fills the servers disk unless disabled. Backups stored on the source server provide a false sense of security to users. Backups should never be stored on the source server imho.
Enabling ssh access for admin accounts expands the threat exposure of a Plesk server and doing so by not consulting the servers admin is a breach of trust in my opinion. We have ALOT of plesk servers running, and thankfully I have the majority orchestrated using Ansible (when will we see a multi server manager from Plesk?) so it is easy enough to deal with these issues when they arise however, should I have to?
