I'd like to argue why, in this case, it makes sense.

The weston is getting more and more adoption and often we use it on
devices that do not have keyboard and mouse connected. The default
configuration file, on OE-Core, should be adequate for common use
cases as we see on embedded devices and failing to start just because
we lack input devices is far from user-friendly.

We do have a bbappend our multiple customer layers and as it has
become common we'd like to upstream it as we used quite some time to
understand why it was failing when we first faced it.
