Two questions:

I'm curious why the new console driver vt doesn't have a vesa driver when
the traditional syscons driver did.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons

Is there any specific reason why vesa driver wasn't implemented?

Second:
Linux has Linux fbdev that act as a simple dumb framebuffer, where's
FreeBSD basic framebuffer?
