That might mean your terminal is unable to _generate_ the modifier.
What happens if you use the "C-x @ h" prefix, does it produce
hyper-modified keys?

Sorry, I don't understand. Can you show how would you like to remove
the condition?

I think [return] the function key is a much more frequent case for the
distinction. TTY frames generally don't have function keys as
symbols, they have escape sequences which we translate to function
keys.

A doc string will explain what we mean.

I don't remember. But maybe I'm splitting hair here, and we can use
this predicate for iconifying etc. as well.
