I'ts actually not that simple. Many providers that allow shell access in multiple hosted enviorenments still do not provide CLI compatable PHP which is required for Drush. Such was the case for me when I wanted to use drush :(.
If you're just looking for module installs to be easier, plugin manager project is a good alternative to drush in such cases.

We should have a list of all web hosting providers who actually provide shell access available on drupal.org so it can be easily referenced by all.
I sent in a request. We will see if I can gain the shell access :-)
