It's a fair question and I haven't tried the other way yet and I fully
intend to do further  investigating,

I think my main reason was the current console at least when
interacting with gtk frontend are done on a console per tab, now if we
have multiple outputs I would want them to be visible at the same
time, now I understand we could fix this but we'd need some sort of
console grouping to say this group of consoles represent this set of
outputs,

Though further to that I'm not sure how we'd want to represent
multiple graphic cards I assume we'd want to be able to see them all
at once, but still have some sort of binding between separate outputs
on one card.
