Yep, some are located next to an interconnect cabinet or remote terminal but down here's there's a lot of free standing one's plainly visable from the street.

Well , in the civilized part of the nation , we have alleys that provide access to the dumpsters and utilities . All of which are out of sight from the street . :-)

But even if we did not , who cares . Those that do not like to look at telephone boxes would be the ones screaming the loudest if their telephone service vanished .

No, actually, it's the opposite. They are going to provide VoIP phone service with UVerse. It's just not there yet. They already allow you to sign up for UVerse-enabled DSL without a POTS line.
