Because switch-frame is there, and this is similar.

blink-cursor-mode is not enabled by default on ttys.  It can be enabled manually, but it has no effect other than running the timers.  Also, there is really no concept of focus-out or focus-in in a tty session, we can't know when we have or loose focus.
