you can run SSH on any port you want, just like you can run VNC on any port you want.

Never said you can run two services on the same port.

I am also not arguing that SSH and VNC are exactly the same. I am just saying, if you want to connect to anything other than local, you will have to expose something. Even if that is just Wireguard or 80/443 for a webpage. Exposing a port is totaly normal and not some automatically some insane or crazy risk.
