If you are SSH'ing into a server you should expect to get fingerprinted.

If we are going to stretch "fingerprinting" to authentication, then yes, but fingerprinting here has a very specific meaning.

When I SSH into a server, I want to be "fingerprinted" as far as I share, any Device fingerprinting allowed by SSH is a security risk to the client.

There is a bug difference between being fingerprinted by the server that I am trying to log into and sharing (part of) gbag fingerprint publicly.
