It is not so much "not available in console", it's more that console
versions of Vim don't always include the +clientserver feature, or that
it is sometimes present but not enabled at run-time.
For Unix, this is from ":help x11-clientserver":

For Windows, from ":help w32-clientserver":

Also, regardless of console or GUI, the following must be taken into
account:
