Umm, because the -next- exploitable bug might be in sshd, not telnetd?

There are lots of good reasons to run ssh and not telnet by default, but
the fact that telnetd had a recent exploitable bug is not one of those
reasons.

   Hence the part about By default.  If the person installing
FreeBSD does nothing when asked about inetd.conf, no inetd
services are enabled.  This means telnetd, too.

 Which just brings me to another point, why not just turn ssh on by default
 and turn telnetd off by default, given the latest exploit.

As Bruce already mentioned, this is the new default in 4.4.
