I am a pretty big terminal user, and I still use a graphical front end (specifically Neovide and Neovim-Qt). If you are happy with the terminal, you're right, there's no "upsell" here, but if you're happy with something, why would you switch to something else?
I use a graphical frontend precisely because I was unhappy with the terminal, and not because I am stupid, inept, or lazy.
For one thing, a graphical interface liberates you from constraints on key binding, fonts, and colors. Whether any particular graphical interface implements such improvements is up to the developer. But that's the beauty of the whole system: unlike with Gvim, none of that has to be upstreamed into the main application.
Neovim-Qt also offers a couple of interesting features like native scroll bars, a tab/buffer line made of native "tabs" instead of drawing it with plain text, and a native right-click menu. It also has some kind of adaptive color thing, for people who really like to "rice" their system and get a uniform look and feel across applications.
Something to keep in mind is that all of these projects are relatively new and developed by hobbyists. It will take years and years for any of them to reach feature parity with Gvim.
