Not if you set rlogin-program to ssh.

I guess rlogin is superseded by ssh almost everywhere. Maybe a few
places are still using rlogin to connect internally between trusted
hosts where encryption is not needed.
Whether rlogin.el is obsolete, I dunno. You can use it with ssh by doing:
emacs -Q --eval '(setq rlogin-program "slogin"
rlogin-explicit-args (list "-t" "-t"))' -f rlogin
Does this offer anything that M-x shell followed by ssh, or Tramp, doesn't?
Probably not.

If its main use today would be with ssh, why have it use
rlogin by default? We should change the default to ssh.
We might also want to rename it to M-x ssh.
(What is the practical difference between slogin and ssh?)

I don't know about the comparison with the former. Does Tramp
do remote login?
