\ss is plain tex's font command for sans serif, and works with
context. I do not know why latex chose \sf (sffamily, textsf) instead
of ss.
 
You are wrong, \ss is in plain TeX the command to produce the german ß.
There has never been a predefined command to swith to a sans serif font like
the corresponding switches for bold and italic.
