A lot of new players would prefer FRC because there would be no need
to learn openings from a lot of books. FRC will therefore make chess
more attractive to a lot of new fans, who can start very soon playing
attractive games of FRC.

I am puzzling why you - thinking that way - have claimed to support
the FRC development by a cheating GUI, this seems hard to believe.
And I see no argument for this statement here, or what should be
more 'natural' in your opinion.

You may be right with some older players, but not with newcomers.
