Well, it would make it easier to identify which tty is which if you have not logged in yet or have recently logged off.

Thing is, the screen is controlled by the PTY, so anything written by kmscon will be overwritten by pty content, if not explicitly protected. The right place to do sth like that would be /etc/motd and make /bin/login support a special variable to replace by the VT (or simply print $XDG_VTNR)
