I have used UUCP over SSH over IP a few times in the past.  SSH is used
as the transport for the UUCP character stream via STDIN & STDOUT.  It
doesn't involve any port forwarding.

What is the point of this? I mean, UUCP is/was used primarily for remote
login and to transfer files, which both are native functionalities of SSH.

UUCP was primarily a store-and-forward, source routed file transfer
mechanism.  Some files were metadata, saying what should be done with
companion files--thus, email.  Drawing a blank on remote login?
