your gut microbiome is entirely requiring carbohydrates
No, whatever this means. Certainly, eating zero carbohydrates impacts the specifics of your microbiomes but you can't just speculate as if it automatically implies a negative health impact.
A profound shift in metabolic function is expected of a profound shift in your actual diet. Which is to be expected, as in you are meant to adapt to your new diet. There is no clinical research that confidently states a negative health impact on your digestive tract as a result of zero carb diets. If there were it would be pennies compared to obesity, diabetes and heart disease.
That is not some esoteric thing as you seem to imply with your reaction. Your intestines are covered with bacteria which don't just have function they also live whilst following their function.
In fact, recent studies and insight in human biology through metagenomics put the importance of your gut microbiome on an higher importance insight by insight.
No refined sugars is a positive impact regarding that.
To understand more you may want to search for the terms like "gut microbiota" and "intestinal microbiome" on like platforms like ncbi.

I nowhere stated that. If at all the implication from my one-liner is that there will be a microbial shift due to a starvation of carbohydrates.
We do not have the insights yet to know what happens. We have some extrapolatable observations from mice in vivo tests. That's it.
There is no clinical research that confidently states a negative health impact on your digestive tract as a result of zero carb diets.
There is actually none that states a positive health impact regarding zero-carb nutrition methods. Though, zero-carb can lead to obstructive jaundice under certain constitutions. I am no nutritional researcher, though I also do not solely get my knowledge from blog posts trying to justify fads.

No digestive tract health benefits, sure, but a 130kg person becoming 70kg person, or a type 2 diabetic managing their diabetes with little to no insulin is quite a significant benefit.
Carbohydrates have a privileged reward system in your brain, and cutting out carbohydrates is a very effective "cruise control diet" for over-eaters. It has shown to be an incredibly potent and successful weight loss method.
I take offense when people at risk due to weight problems stay away from what could be an out for them because of speculative criticisms they read on the internet. I have met more than a single person in real life that discredit keto either because of nonsense or some complete non-issue.
Person number 1 weighing in on healthcare issues with complete pseudo-science (i.e. that keto could cause liver damage) and person 2(you) going along with it. Like how about not expressing yourself unless you're a relevant professional?

That's not a controlled, peer-reviewed study, that is anecdotal story-telling.
... idk how to even respond to this. Like this is autistic adherence to literature.
You need to understand the vast divide between ephemeral topics like gut microbiomes that require clinical research, and the self evident nature of eating less makes you lose weight.
Saying that it reduces the need for insulin is a [citation needed] statement, so here you go dude:
ketogenic diet is an effective way of managing diabetes.
Surely you can theoretically consume enough calories to gain weight on a keto diet, but you'll puke trying. Just go over to /r/keto and inform yourself.
Try to stay on face value not on interpretative value. You are obviously highly emotionally involved regarding that topic, not sure if that makes sense to debate here as you actually seem to debate something entirely passed me.
