I resell server space and I have one provider which allows
shell access and one which doesn't. The one which does requires
an initial reason why such access is necessary. In the hands of
an inexperienced or malicious person, shell access can hurt all
users on that physical server. We have some controls in place,
but disallowing shell access is still the most secure route.
