I think this unnecessarily reductive. I disagree for two reasons.
1. Technical. The restrictions are on the protocol side. Not the browser side. It's up to the browser to convert links to "more than" links.
The Lagrange gemini browser is a good example of that. E.g. if it detects a link to an image, it adds that image inline.
2. Behavioural. Protocol restrictions do not immediately equate to inability to be creative. In my short stint in geminispace I've already witnessed some wonderfully creative content, ranging from writing, poetry, ascii art, a tictactoe/chess server, and even interactive fiction games.
