They don't enable sshd by default either iirc.

sshd by default on a live cd is not desirable in either case. More
remote services enabled by default always opens the possibility for
security issues. Besides the kickstart files are often used as a
template for further customization so minimal amount of services enabled
is a plus. If you have more questions, feel free to test the live cd or
look at the kickstart files for details:
