Where the comment in question was:

;; `after-make-frame-functions' hook is not run in no-window mode

Which is a bit confusing to me.

If you are creating a new frame with the -nw option for an existing
Emacs instance then `after-make-frame-functions' definitely runs.
(Certainly in 26.1, where I just tested it.)

It's true that just running 'emacs -nw' does not run that hook for the
initial frame -- but then neither does it run for the initial frame
when you start 'emacs' in GUI mode, so the "no-window mode" part does
not seem relevant.

It's quite common to add a function to `after-make-frame-functions'
and to also call that function directly during init (or in
`after-init-hook' or some such) to process the initial frame.
