I think it's quite important to have Emacs behave the same on all
platforms.  While we no longer recommend to build Emacs with
ImageMagick, those who do build with it should be able to use its
transforms, and disabling that is not necessarily a good idea.
Instead of disabling ImageMagick transforms, why not tell users to
build Emacs without ImageMagick?
