I'm quite accustomed to do ctrl+alt+F1 in order to get a console, almost in every distro, and it usually works.
As indicated Fedora also made the change to have the Graphical Session running on tty1.
Fedora makes a change so everyone has to follow!
Sounds like another change for change's sake.
First people should check why Plymouth was changed to tty1, and the answer (if I recall correctly from when I tried to implement Plymouth in 2010) is quite simple... it's related to the encrypted volumes and keyboard hooks required to enter the password to access the encrypted volumes.
So, Fedora didn't changed it because it feels nice, I'm sure there's some sort of technical explanation to support the change, and in that case, the obvious thing is to ask on Plymouth mailling list or ask directly to Ray Strode.
Fedora (and derivates), Ubuntu/Debian (and derivates) and pretty much everyone using plymouth is running it on tty1... So the statement you make should be probably made the other way around:
s/Fedora/openSUSE
I only threw it out there because other changes are being implemented "because Fedora has already done so".
