Why Firewalls Don’t Have Telnet or SSH Clients

I found this on Cyber Corner blog:

Another missing ASA-feature: telnet and ssh client: “ Every single decent Cisco-device on earth has the ability to make an CLI-user jump to another device with telnet or ssh. Except the ASA. I really wish that this feature could be added. Right now I am troubleshooting a firewall and from where I am right now the only way in is to SSH to the ASA. I can do whatever I want inside the firewall from my SSH-window, but I need to access a router inside of that firewall, and if this feature wasn´t missing i could simply run ‘ssh ip-address’ to jump to the switch´s CLI.

Am I the last CLI-.guy on this planet? Please, Cisco?
