That is only partially true, the Linux kernel is making a strong push
away from deprecated (FB_*) graphics drivers to DRM based ones, with 
kernel based mode setting this is getting more (any) attention for 
console support as well. Even without getting anywhere near X/ Wayland,
there is more than just a 80x25 tty on real hardware (and even VMs).
