The term's not something I've heard a lot, but is a "framebuffer terminal" the thing that engages outside of running a graphical session?

It's kind of neat to see improvements made here if that's the case. Not everyone will make extensive use of this, but having proper support for a lot of modern conveniences is never a bad thing.

Exactly. The Linux console for example only supports a tiny number of colours. Folks use FB terminals for tty* for this reason etc.
