I'm wondering if there were reasons why SSH wasn't chosen as the
transport for Gemini, like git? SSH doesn't have the certificate
expiry issue, for example.

The expiration is not really an issue since you can always createcertificates with ridiculous durations (20 years...).
Otherwise, the big problem with SSH is there are much less availablelibraries, compared to TLS.
