It never worked very well - in the age of bitmaps (and that's not a recent invention) that ultra-dumb pixel pushing simply no longer scales.

We have eons better ways to transport graphical buffers around (also, what about sound? That seems reasonable - but now should the display server also be a sound server?), so building it into such a core protocol just doesn't make sense.
