Worse, they're becoming the only way some bits of hardware can be used. Like bluetooth. They had excellent commandline support for it then gutted it and left it to rot. How're you supposed to automate that? Why should you need a working X server to use a bluetooth keyboard?
That's mostly what I was trying to say. Thank you for saying it!

bthidd
BTHIDD(8) BSD System Manager's Manual BTHIDD(8)
NAME
bthidd -- Bluetooth HID daemon
SYNOPSIS
bthidd -h
bthidd [-a BD_ADDR] [-c file] [-H file] [-p file] [-t val]
DESCRIPTION
The bthidd daemon handles remote Bluetooth HID devices.
The options are as follows:
-a BD_ADDR
Specify the local address to listen on. By default, the server will listen on ANY address. The address can be specified as BD_ADDR
or name. If a name was specified, the bthidd daemon will attempt to resolve the name via bt_gethostbyname(3).
-c file
Specify path to the configuration file. The default path is /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf.
-d Do not detach from the controlling terminal, i.e., run in foreground.
-H file
Specify path to the known HIDs file. The default path is /var/db/bthidd.hids.
-h Display usage message and exit.
-p file
Specify path to the PID file. The default path is /var/run/bthidd.pid.
-t val Specify client rescan interval in seconds. The bthidd daemon will periodically scan for newly configured Bluetooth HID devices or
disconnected ``passive'' Bluetooth HID devices and will attempt to establish an outgoing connection. The default rescan interval is
10 seconds.
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
The bthidd daemon currently does not handle key auto repeat and double click mouse events. Those events work under X(7) just fine, but not
in text console.
This manual page needs more work. A manual page documenting the format of the /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf configuration file is needed as
well.

CAVEATS
Any Bluetooth HID device that has HUP_KEYBOARD or HUP_CONSUMER entries in its descriptor is considered as ``keyboard''. For each
``keyboard'' Bluetooth HID device, the bthidd daemon will use a separate instance of the virtual keyboard interface vkbd(4). Therefore the
kbdmux(4) driver must be used to properly multiplex input from multiple keyboards.
