I appreciate to directly experiment ffmpeg without X11 or SDL dependencies, just using the ffmpeg binary. This is especially true when I work on embedded systems and I use it a lot.
Even though the fbdev output device is available, the Linux Framebuffer is often considered obsolete in favor of KMS/DRM. But if there are plans to remove output devices like fbdev or xv, I understand that it is difficult to consider supporting a KMS/DRM output ...
