As the title says. I think it should be left up to the user to decide if they

Providing /dev/null as stdin isn't failing for me. Piped input is run as a
command script, so providing /dev/null as stdin is providing an empty list of
commands to run. That's documented and intended behavior.
Piped or redirected input is one of the most useful ways to run mged for
scripting:
echo "tops" | mged -c moss.g
or
mged moss.g <<EOF
tops
EOF
or
# put a bunch of commands into a file.mged
mged moss.g < file.mged
I don't know how your application launcher is invoking mged. Do you know how
it's being invoked and what specifically is the failure? Last I used our
Debian .desktop launchers, they invoked as a double-click application without
issue.
Cheers!
