The problem is that if the graphics isn't optional (if it's the
default), the whole thing is *limiting* the actions you can do
with it. Simply consider what will happen if you try to use a
GUI installer via a serial console (and this is a common task
in datacenters).

Exactly. More graphics != better. And surely not "modern".
