It massively increases your attack surface but lets you tick the "cybersecurity" box on your audit. It's a good trade for many people, it seems.
It's like these people have nothing better to do with their time and just absolutely have to have to design and build a product for the sake of it, and then dump it on marketing for > 0 amounts of sales through pretty-much wearing IT departments down. Or in the case of this Crowdstrike thing, through the protection racket known as security audit compliance.
The security tradeoffs don't make sense at all once you understand how it works.
Ssh or winrm are significantly more secure than whatever some security vendor thinks will tick an audit box.
10ft pole is an excellent approach.
