I read his message as "these are useless for me, so why introduce a
useless dependency?" The "effect" is to have no Tcl dependence,
but the original reason is to have no GUI.
So, "If you don't do something, it is often interesting to state why".
Why no TCL (in git)? Because no X11 (on the machine).
