Can't you just not select the X-related file sets during installation?

No, and apparently it's for a good reason, but don't ask why.

You absolutely can and if you know that you don’t install software that needs it, there is no reason to install X during installation.

That's not the answer I got on their IRC a few years back.

So, a random person on #openbsd once said you to RTFM and you are still salty a few years after? My (also anecdotal) experience with the openbsd community is very positive, so here's that.

I wouldn't waste a second writing about it if it happened only once.

#openbsd on Libera is unofficial last time I checked. The only official communication channel would be misc@ for a question such as this.

"They" don't have an "IRC". #openbsd on Freenode/Libera is an unofficial venue. The channel isn't endorsed by the project or the foundation. In some moments you run into friendly people, and in other moments you run into angry people. It's not an OpenBSD thing. As someone who has been a regular in #openbsd for some 20 years I will assure that it's mostly friendly and helpful.
