Tricky? Checking if you're bound to TTY is trivial, checking whether you have a parent is trivial, checking whether interactive shell is somewhere in the tree is trivial, having some if's in signal handlers is trivial, etc.

Besides "daemon writers" could just default to foreground, because if it's ran as a daemon it is ran from a script hence nobody cares for extra option typing such as -d --daemon, it's written once in a file, as opposed to doing "program --foreground" every time you want it to run in front of you
