Slightly related, I would have expected the same of WinRM. I was poking around
and found that while it is installed by default, the service is not enabled.
That makes a lot of sense in context of the minimal attack surface stuff--but
it's not exposed as a role or feature that I've found so far. You have to run
this to enable it:

winrm quickconfig

It's very quick to do and it takes care of making the firewall rule.
