It's probably because sometimes a simple text editor on a non-windows system is all you need. vi and Emacs are bundled with Linux. If you're not running X Windows, then you're not going to have a graphical IDE.
So does it mean vi & emacs application is limited to editing configs via ssh?
Both vi and Emacs are plain text editors. Use both to edit text files in the file system.
