He has a graphical login session. I am going to guess he is using straight-X windows with one of the ancient simple window managers (twm, mwm). I have used similar setups on set-top boxes where memory is limited and gnome is overcomplicated and often gets in the way of it working.
DJ: are you the same DJ Delorie that did the work 30 years ago on djgcc for DOS? If so, that was some good work. I used it for some image processing work.

That's because they aren't necessary. For any standard desktop all
those pieces are already setup for you. Notice how he said
"non-display-manager user". Those are only necessary if you don't have
a graphical login session.
