No it isn't.   THe GUI _can_ play the book moves, if the author so chooses.
And that means it is actively taking part in the game, rather than serving
as a passive GUI between the engine and operator.  Ditto for root tablebase
positions.

Just because _you_ didn't let it choose the book moves didn't mean that
someone else didn't...
