This needs an option to use the Kitty Graphics Protocol: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/

No need to render to ASCII/Unicode anymore!

Yes I agree, there is also sixel format but I think that sixel is generally used for pngs etc. but both are really cool imo.

maybe kitty should just implement an X11 server or wayland and support all gui programs

It already exists for Sixel: https://github.com/saitoha/xserver-sixel

...but at that point X forwarding or VNC seems more useful.
