> Whats wrong with requiring a GPU?

I'm glad that you never encountered this before and I sincerely wish you never will: getting on call 3am in the morning due to server outage and you couldn't diagnose remotely. You rushed to the server room, which was only 50F btw, connected to the machine and brought up a rescue shell. Oh, did I tell you that none of them has integrated GPU?

See, it's not about the time you sit in front of your M1 MacBook and have a nice cup of tea -- it's about the situation where everything goes south and your tools and infrastructures can still have your back

That's a weird strawman. Nobody aims to take away your standard framebuffer / textmode terminal. It's there for a reason and I don't think this post cares at all about that use case. (Also, you should really invest in iLO or your vendor's equivalent - it pays for itself if you do trips like that)
