But most SSH servers present a self signed certificate too.
If at one time you choose to trust this server cert you wont be bothered about it again unless the certificate changes/expires or whatnot.
Why can't the selfsigned certs with HTTPS behave the same way?

One big difference I can think of: A user of a secure shell is more likely to understand the security implications of their decisions than a random human with a web browser.

A bigger reason might be that a successful MITM attack is much more likely to empty the bank account of the victim if the connection being attacked is a web browser connection than if it is a secure shell connection.
