Unless the majority of ssh brute force attacks iterate over every port value, using a non-standard port would still have value in reducing the volume of attacks.

It's less protection and more just avoiding aimless attacks.

If someone's out to get you, then sure, they'll find the port.

If someone's out to just find any unlocked door, they'll just move on.
