OpenSSH is an implementation, SSH is a technology and/or protocol, it doesn't make a lot of sense to compare them that way. Although from later comments RDP seems to have a history in Citrix prior to it's life as RDP, so there are likely clear reasons why it didn't use the SSH protocol (namely that the underlying technology RDP was built on does predate the SSH protocol).
