It looks like the problem space the author is addressing is broader than Emacs; they seem to want to make TUI's one of many different, first-class-citizen presentation layer options, interacting with many different input mechanisms. A Lego approach to UI frameworks basically as far as I can tell.
It would be interesting if there was an Arcan-philosophy UI framework in CL for an updated Climacs on top of a bare metal Lisp environment, for a turtles-all-the-way-down CL experience. It would open up interesting interactions with Emacs that are an unreasonably big pain to implement today, like buffers that manipulate view ports into observability data under a pluggable UI that renders graphically a graph data-oriented view of the discovered structure of the data under an investigation taking notes into a Jupiter-like notebook with rich multimedia data, for instance.

I'd actually be surprised if you couldn't do some of this with emacs today. Falling back to the text is just hella repeatable in ways that most binary forms are not.
