Why can't I write code inside my browser?
I tried this as a Chrome extension a long time ago - github.com/captn3m0/sympathy
The idea was to make file-editing possible and simple in your browser. The extension let you edit file:/// URLs in your browser using the (now unavailable) NPAPI. The results were fun - especially for web development, where I could edit the CSS in one tab, and have it reflect in the second. Chrome added a "workspace" editor a while later, which was similar.
A blog post on why I really wanted to make it: https://github.com/captn3m0/captn3m0.github.com/blob/master/...

Attracting attention to terminalimageviwer, a c++ program that renders an image with block chars and optionally teletype chars! Unfortunately hasn't had any real commits since July 2021
I tried TIV and I liked it pretty much, but for me, the output of imcat looks better.

My favorite cli/tui programs:
imcat - images in terminal (doesn't work in urxvt, works well in tilix/tty {tested there})

Do you have a specific gripe against X11? Again, it would be very much against the Unix philosophy to roll that highly complex functionality into the core SSH protocol. The problem would still be just as complex and challenging. Implementing a network-transparent GUI always is. You'd lose the separation of concerns, and you'd end up running two GUI systems rather than one.
If you want a very basic GUI over SSH without a full-blown GUI like with X11, you already have the option of using a TUI like Midnight Commander. You can preview images on the command-line, with a tool like imcat. [0]
