Applevision used a character generator which put text on both the
hires and text screens.  (This had also confused me for years.)

You can display text on the graphics screen if your timing routines
work just right.  (That is, turn on graphics display, wait, turn on
text display, wait, turn on graphics...etc.)   This is used often on
the Commodore 64 to do neat things.
