You're mixing up thing here. Most systems do indeed disable direct connections

to the X server (for good reasons) and expect you to use ssh -X instead.

So what do you do if you want to run apps on system A (probably headless)

and have it display on system B ? Dedicated 'remote' versions or web interfaces

(ROTFL) for each and every of them ? I'm writing this mail logged in to a system

that is located in a different continent and I don't even notice it. 
If 'a generation of users' is any reference, we should just forget about

Linux, switch to Windows and call it a day. We should also eat only fast

food, believe everything the TV news and ads tell us, hate strangers and

homosexuals, and generally be ignorant about everything. There's probably

no argument more irrelevant than this sort of populist ones.
