I'm not sure what you are saying "No" to. Here are excerpts from
previous posts that you've made talking about the matter:

My stance is that the sliders on an
operations should be predictable and always do the same thing for the
colorimetrically absolute same color

GEGLs image processing is intended to all operate in device independent
color spaces, no matter which camera you took a picture with
gaussian blurs, color adjustments etc, should behave the same.
No; but same parameters for same input colors producing same results
is considered desirable behavior. Predictable interfaces are nice
interfaces.
In a properly color managed image editor, the way for a user to get
predictable editing results is to set up a consistent workflow based on
the RGB working spaces that the user finds appropriate for the tasks at
hand.
Edit 50 ProPhotoRGB images in a row and results will be predictable for
anyone using a ProPhotoRGB workflow.
Edit 50 sRGB images in a row and results will be predictable for anyone
using an sRGB workflow.
The real question is why anyone would want to edit ProPhotoRGB images in
GIMP, given GIMP's sRGB "PCS". Results certainly won't be consistent
with editing ProPhotoRGB images in any other image editor.
Instead, after converting the ProPhotoRGB image to GIMP's sRGB "PCS",
editing results will depend entirely on how many operations the GIMP
devs choose to "special case" by converting to a target profile made
using ProPhotoRGB primaries, as seems to now be the plan for "multiply".
Until GIMP is properly color managed, the only users who might find GIMP
editing results predictable are users who already only edit their images
in the sRGB color space.
