In darktable they are not: the order of application is defined independently of the order in which they're activated, and the output of one module is the input of the next (so application order is very important). Comparing it to Gimp's layers is not silly, they work the same way: there is an intrinsic order in which things are applied, and that order is represented by the order of the GUI. You can think that each of darktable's activated modules is a layer with a certain effect applied (in order) on top of the base image. Users might have good and original ideas too, you know?

However, there were several reasons given here about why it might not be a good idea to allow GUI order and pipe order to be different. Insisting on "give users the choice" without addressing those issues is not productive, so expect a quick "won't fix" answer if that is the level of argumentation for the change.
