Well it makes no sense to worry about side channel attacks if you don't have isolation in the first place, so there is an implicit assumption that you have a sandboxing layer like VM/container/browser (or the built in unix user separation) which don't care about terminals or X11 (usually a separate X server is used which is running inside the sandbox context).
