The machine wasn't powerfull enough to run X.
Of course it was, it was just never ported. Sun-2 systems run X just fine, with the same CPU at the same clock rate.
My first X was X11R5 on Sparc and PA-RISC processors so later and coloring my opinion of what was possible. How much memory was needed to usefully run X11 on a Sun-2?
