is there a way to view public mapbox maps in GIS?
I suppose, I'd need to try parsing these via some github tool?

Opensource map software for web app
You will also need to figure out your source of basemap tiles. Again, OpenStreetMap is not an API not is it a basemap, despite what some here are recommending. It is an open dataset that is commonly used to create raster or vector tile basemaps. It is possible to download all or some of OpenStreetMap, generate vector tiles, and style them to look the way you want, but that does introduce quite a bit of extra technical overhead you might not want at this stage of development. Namely, you’d need to run you own vector tile server that your mapping API can fetch and render tiles from. Many open source vector tile servers exist and it’s kind of up to you to figure out which one meets your needs. Alternatively, Mapbox and MapTiler provide SaaS support for basemaps built in part or wholly on OpenStreetMap data. Check out “Awesome Vector Tiles” for resources and tools to help get going with vector tiles. (https://github.com/mapbox/awesome-vector-tiles)

Prettymaps: Small Python library to draw customized maps from OpenStreetMap data
There are tools to do that sort of feature generalization. https://github.com/migurski/Skeletron is one that comes to mind.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing awesome-vector-tiles and Skeletron you can also consider the following projects:
tilemaker - Make OpenStreetMap vector tiles without the stack
osm-renderer - OpenStreetMap raster tile renderer written in Rust
prettymaps - A small set of Python functions to draw pretty maps from OpenStreetMap data. Based on osmnx, matplotlib and shapely libraries.
abstreet - Transportation planning and traffic simulation software for creating cities friendlier to walking, biking, and public transit
vsketch - Generative plotter art environment for Python
Openstreetmap - The Rails application that powers OpenStreetMap
plotly - The interactive graphing library for Python :sparkles: This project now includes Plotly Express!
owid-grapher - A platform for creating interactive data visualizations
