I have to agree with your points on the merits of memory mapped screens but
when I use my uC I often use it with a host.
Invariably, the host does not understand the cursor control of the uC with
integrated display. I do not mean to say this occurs with all uC's, just
within my range of experience.
By separating the terminal and uC functions, I have control over the 
two components of my system.
May be the solution to the brain damaged keyboards is for the manufactures to 
offer quality keyboards in the first place.
As far as the screen cursor control is concerned, the terminal programs of the
uC should emulate one of the popular termianls.
