It's not the cards, it's the monitors. And why buy an extra monitor for a
throwdown PC you're using for a terminal server or whatever?

Heck, now there's serial console boot almost working... how do you install
on a rack mounted system with no monitor at all?

VGA X install is way cool, but it seriously increases the minimum
requirements. Right now an install on a 386 with 4M and no monitor should
just about work, right?
