There are plenty of wrappers for it that are even older than it (because they were once for mplayer/mplayer2.)
If you're confused that the programmers of media playing and manipulating software aren't interested in GUIs that plenty of other people have volunteered to write, I don't know what to tell you.
My favorite (really the only one I've used for many years) is smplayer. It gets everything about GUI right that VLC gets horribly wrong. Notably, its developers only work on a GUI, and don't develop mpv. It's cross-platform, too.
