You boomers who are screaming that Emacs doesn't need a GUI layer perhaps need to wake up. It's 2023 and we're constantly dealing with an enormous amount of data. The data that's begging to be visualized. Lisp (especially Clojure) is one of the best tools to deal with data. You can slice it, dice it, chunk it up, measure it, convert it, analyze it, etc. Having a composable, extensible graphics layer in Emacs is only the natural next step in its evolution. When it finally gets added, you will happily be using its awesome features while shaking your heads, remembering that at some point you were against them.
