That is because people often want to design a dynamic GUI and
test it efficiently. We can do the "within-Emacs" design/test
routine for Elisp programs, but will also do it for GNOME/GTK+
programs by using Guile Emacs. That's why I think Guile Emacs
is so sweet and want to build it as soon as possible.
