That's a matter of point of view. If the user using FBSD uses a WM of his/her choice, and they are happy with the way if works - there isn't an issue.
Perhaps, but in a more objective sense, GUIs are an unnecessary complication on servers. Most of the time, nobody is looking at the monitor. Sometimes there is no monitor. A GUI just squanders resources on a server that might need those resources for something else someday. None of the server operations that a sysadmin might have to carry out needs a GUI. Operations that must be done remotely are a thousand times faster to do with a simple terminal CLI than with a bandwidth-hogging GUI. And the present of a GUI on the server destabilizes the machine, for reasons I have already explained.
I will agree on this point - A server does not NEED to a WM (none of mine do). However, I am speaking from a desktop point of view.
