We adapt. Having the primary interface on tty1 makes much more sense than it being on tty7. On a semi-serious note, the tty7 choice is a historical accident...not a design choice. OSS has been replaced. Static /dev has been replaced. SysV init has been replaced. IDE drives aren't /dev/hd* anymore. We're using LVM instead of raw partitions. All of these things (and more) caused a bit of trouble when they were first introduced and then became the norm.
