It's quite possible to write a graphical program in Brainfuck. Graphics are nothing special; it's just a case of setting bits on the appropriate output. You seem to be confusing capability with access.

Now, one could argue that a specific interpreter or compiler doesn't allow you to do X, Y or Z, but that's all implementation and access rights. It doesn't have anything to do with the language itself.
