Subject: What is the point of binding C-m to RET, C-i to TAB etc on a GUI frame?

Message-ID: <CPIclBYOBRVtdIRC2YO_S0bwXCEAFM2y1raJm1WSBgQyqOcyHhqd2CmzU09Bk7_NibvbhNgGgKszOeXEzyaTjTv1ub_BT0YoxVL23yD1Ygs=@protonmail.com> (raw)
AFAIK, it is needed only in terminals, but it has not purpose on GUI. I don't think there are many people who, for example, press C-m instead of RET.
Wouldn't it make more sense to define these in input-decode-map only if emacs runs in a terminal and on GUI letting the user freely rebind them?
