    ls | gvim -

or in PowerShell

    gci | ogv -PassThru

Programs which call GUI library functions can read stdin too... why wouldn't they be able to?

Gvim is a TUI with a GUI taped on top, and whilst the PowerShell you've given there does call a GUI library function as described, I'm pretty sure the author is referring to non trivial examples of a GUI like sublime or VS Code.
