I don't see what's the problem.

While a fixed function desktop may not need all those capabilities, GNU/Linux needs to have them in case someone needs them. PHBs won't be pleased to learn their shining new X terminal just can't do something no matter what the sysadmin does. Doesn't need something, or even think something may be troublesome? That's OK, just don't install it, or even just turn it off.
