You are (increasingly) right, As memory and CPU resources get cheaper, including a GUI in embedded projects gets more common. (In fact this is why I gave up active development for the "active noGUI" Widget Type I had been planning and already did a test-implementation of.)

OTOH regarding the discussed issue, gui-free just means "without a local, directly linked GUI". There are projects that ask attaching for non-local GUI, using some dedicated interface to attach the GUI e.g. (1) CGI with HTML, ExtJS or Silverlight, or (2) a daemon that can be monitored by a configuration program, (3) an Android app that is attached to a fully integrated Android-style GUI done in Java.

This is all about separating the GUI and the "business" logic - as recently discussed here.
