What's the point of removing KMS with nvidia drivers? It seems to only cause errors

> Remove kms from the HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and [regenerate the initramfs](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Regenerate_the_initramfs) . This will prevent the initramfs from containing the nouveau module making sure the kernel cannot load it during early boot. The [nvidia-utils](https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=nvidia-utils) package contains a file which blacklists the nouveau module once you reboot. The above quote from the Arch Linux wiki page for [NVIDIA](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIA) says to remove the kms hook after installing nvidia drivers so that nouveau can't conflict with them (or at least I think that's what it means!). However upon removing it, I experience problems with my vconsole tty on boot, including the font not being set correctly and the login prompt being (visually) corrupted by a kernel error msg:

[[bottom 20% of an ascii art defined in /etc/issue that had displayed fully when kms wasn't deleted]]
emmy login: [    5.559980] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Failed to probe lspcon

Then I saw that even with the kms hook added lsmod | grep nouveau shows nouveau isn't loaded. So what's the point of removing the kms hook when it seems that all it does is cause errors from weird loading orders of modules? And what does the hook actually do? Here is my journalctl for both cases (I am using a intel i915 integrated graphics card + an nvidia GTX 1650 card): KMS removed: journalctl -b | grep -E "nvidia|drm|fbcon|i915"

I don't see what the difference is because both end up with my i915 card using the framebuffer.
