Gemini makes sense when you realize it's the protocol equivalent of running off to join an anarcho-primitivist commune or ascetic monastery, a technical solution to an emotional problem (disgust with the web and modern capitalist society.)

It being too basic and rigid to the point of hostility towards anything but pure text is the entire point.

Even monks liked some illustrations (illumination) in their manuscripts. Gemini is closer to babylonian clay tablets delivered over TCP.
