    Do you really think people who have SSH will want to use OTP over RSA
    or similar authentication, given how easy RSA is to use and how
    comparitively laborious OTP is?

RSA authentication requires some installation work before it can be used,
whereas OTP can be used (at least almost) instantly.  If you are going to
log in only once or twice from some remote site, RSA is overall more
laborious than OTP.
