Not only have I watched the video, I've used acme.
VGA text is everywhere. No need to switch to Linux (and patch it), switch to OSX, use hardware than runs Plan 9, or any other restrictions. No need to run X11.
It just works.

Can acme run without a graphics layer (e.g. X11) beyond VGA?
Why does it need more than VGA text if it entirely text-based?

Apple is now as annoying as Microsoft. They have attracted the type of users who will put up with anything.
Business logic dictates they will do what they can get away with. If they can sell shoddy product (that looks good in the commercial or in the store), then they will do so.
Savvy users must suffer, or find a new system to use.
