Negative consequences of quitting gym are even more severe than those of quitting GLP-1. Especially if one worked out intensely enough to actually achieve any weight goals (i've been doing it for 6 years with a personal trainer and achieved absolutely nothing). Many people who were serious gym rats, just died after quitting (quitting because of trauma or similar external causes), usually due to heart conditions - heart was unable to readapt. You don't die after quitting GLP-1, just get fat again, which is bad in itself - analogous to yo-yo dieting - but not fatal.
GLP-1 is indeed, absolutely, a silver bullet for obesity. And pre-diabetes, and multitude of other conditions and among other things, many addictions (albeit not smoking, sadly).
Having lost weight, i quit gym because it wasn't working for me anyway, and my weight goals have been achieved. Nothing bad happened except now, a year later, i can feel that slight back pains i used to have before starting gym and that completely went away while i was doing it, are slowly coming back.
