Telnet, FTP and rlogin wasn't broke, either. They had their own encrypted variants before SSH came along.

Listing all the deficiencies of something, and putting together a thing that fixes all of them, is the kind of "designed by committee" project that everyone hates. Real progress requires someone to put together a quick project, with new features they think are useful, and letting the public decide if it is useful or not.
