You have a point but kind of miss the point. These applications are why corn has the most GMO types and how they aren't approved for human consumption. There are hundreds of GMO corn variations now, and not all are just to be able to tolerate glysophate (Roundup).
Ethanol in gasoline has been a big push to grow corn faster with more cellulose. Ethanol as a gasoline additive was seen as a way to cleaner emissions while reducing the price of gas. This was under George W. Bush. The first thing that happened is the price of corn skyrocketed, so that corn for food price tripled. Now, it's proving that the cleaner air provided by ethanol-gasoline combustion is overridden by all the diesel transportation it takes to plant and haul the corn.
