Its likely hard because its honestly niche.

Linux administration is terminal first so SSH is pretty much all you need. Some services have a WebUI to fill the gap, but its bound to that service. Most server variants of distros don't even include a desktop environment.

KVM-over-IP (hardware device) is likely a more common approach because if you need video, might as well have BIOS access.

There may be something in the virtualization space where the hypervisor provides a remote desktop, but I'm not familiar with this space. A quick search for proxmox and remote desktop yielded mostly results for guest OS setups instead of at the host layer.
