When updates are made available the package management system will update whatever software is in the update list. So of course they upgrade xorg and glibc when an upgrade is made available for whatever reason; be it for security or bug fix, or new version. Lets not forget to put in the list kdebase, kdelibs, & qt.
The average user will eventually run a tty. If they do not run tty, the first time they upgrade xorg or kdebase, kdelibs or qt, they will be running to the forums and will be told to uninstall the packages mentioned above and then reinstall them in run level 3. So the short answer is yes, they do run tty sessions.
