My understanding is that macOS is a certified Unix and that every Unix user expects that X Windowing System runs there. For that, there's XQuartz there for years, not just because it's been easy for someone having some interest to have it. So, if it's really a Unix, it's quite natural for people to expect that it's at least technically possible to implement a GUI version of a given TUI using Athena or any other X11 GUIs such as Motif, GTK, and Qt. Currently and fortunately, Vim fully fulfills the expectation, and hence I don't think there's any good reason to disable any of the GUIs as long as there's no or little cost to maintain them.
On the other hand, as someone has already pointed out, Carbon has long been deprecated and is now discontinued, the cost to maintain the Carbon GUI seems not to be affordable unless there's someone who has a working Mac machine running more than a decade.
