But why would anyone make a graphical console without a computer this
millenium? Even if used just as a thin client, some extra logic to manage
this would be nice. A computer costs a few cents these days, or, if you
want a capable board and connectors, a few dollars.

And even if you insist on connecting two physical GUI consoles, it'd be far
more reasonable to given them separate logical machines by one of many ways
to do so, than to create an additional layer in a single logical machine.
