Oh, c’mon, give them a bit of a break.  The X.org server NetBSD ships with supports lots of dumb linear frame buffers (some dumber than others!), largely because NetBSD people put in the effort.  It’s probably something fairly minor, or perhaps some bit-rot in the “wscons-ification” of the PMAGB-B driver (“sfb”, I think).
