We used to support that. The WinLogon was able to run
in CUI mode, CSRSS and
win32k started GUI mode only on demand (ie. if any GUI API was called).
Basically all the components were designed in a way that if you specified
cmd.exe as a shell then the GUI would never be started unless you try to
execute an application which requires it. Quitting the application would
switch back to the console mode. Not sure if and why it was removed...
I cannot tell you the exact reason why it was removed, but I do know
that /CONSOLE is the replacement for the true, blue-screened console
mode. At least /CONSOLE still works.
I remember being specifically asked if it was OK to remove the
GUI-on-demand mode.
