No one used Windows seriously for servers at the time - it was Unix or Netware. By the time Windows NT was a common choice for a server, the integration of the graphics drivers in the kernel layer was a done deal. And yes, it was a potential problem that a crashed gui meant a crashed server - but on servers you don't usually install high performance, high risk graphics drivers. (Don't misunderstand me - I think having the risky third-party driver code running at kernel level is a bad idea from the reliability viewpoint, and a terrible idea on a server. And when I set up a server, I do it using an OS that doesn't have a gui at all.)
