That surprises me, considering Emacs was born on text terminals, not on GUIs, and only received GUI capabilities later.
In fact, disagreement over how to add the GUI support was a core factor in the schism between GNU Emacs and Lucid Emacs/XEmacs. But that didn’t happen until the 1990s sometime, as I recall.
