This argument would also see the removal of 'login', since that's not
needed by your putative majority of people who don't log in over
text-only interfaces.

This argument fails for the same reason: just because *few* people use
it is not sufficient reason to drop it from the install. If you don't
want 'gpm' installed, you need a different argument.
