We always think about it, and then realize there are much better motors that are much easier to use. The power pins on the front require some really interesting configurations to get working. In addition, there are no COTS gearboxes that work with them.

A gear box for this motor maybe a good project for some team.

Why would a team waste time finding a way to gear down an 18W motor when there are a plethora of better options available? There are equally compact motors that interface much more cleanly and provide much more power. Further still, if you have a low power, low speed application, the window motor already provides an option without additional external gearing.

I see no reason to use the throttle motor, personally.
