Even though Oracle only sells server hardware running Solaris, there are
customers running Solaris on laptops and other systems with graphic
consoles. When I bring up Solaris 11.4 in VirtualBox, I get a Gnome
desktop. (I work on USB and boot, so I don't pay much attention to the
desktop and couldn't tell you what version of Gnome it is.)

AIX probably still has them but graphic consoles are pretty rare now
most AIX boxes are used as servers these days.

Fair.
"Out there", to me, means "current, available/on sale/in use now, in
active use and/or maintenance".
I'm fairly sure that Solaris and AIX both continue to ship C.D.E. ;-)
That notwithstanding, I have to say, I still think it's ludicrous to
imply that anything _before_ Win95 could have drawn upon it, even if
making a negative statement.
Hence why I prefer to be excruciatingly clear.
