It’s more about most people don’t have time to learn all the commands to be a sufficient enough user. I don’t want to dig through an endless stream of AI slop articles hallucinating me the commands I need for something, nor have the time and money to retreat from society “to learn it properly”. Also often the things I do is more intuitive for a button or shortcut press (I have made a card for my keyboard for F-keys) rather than typing in every time the commands.
Going CLI from GUI feels like ripping out the interiors and the dashboard from your car to make it slightly lighter the same way race cars are done, but instead you’re doing it to the family car. Sure, a lot of GUI is now a web app, because some techbro in the 2010’s wanted to collect our data for advertisement opportunities and creating the Torment Nexus free us from software installations, so we could just type www . wordprocessor . com into the URL bar of our browser instead of running the spooky and scary wordprocessor.exe after running the even spookier and scarier wordprocessor_install_1_6_5.exe. This in turn lead to a lot of student being over-reliant on HTML-like formatting for UI, and GTK and Qt not being taught in turn, which also could serve as lightweight and mostly cross-platform GUI. I even created my own GUI subsystem in my game engine for its editors.
A lot of problems caused by those on the top are being blamed on “normie users”, because we need to be “ideologically neutral”, except when it comes to “supressed” ideologies…

you don’t have to memorize the commands, just use
tldr commandandaproposto your advantage.Everything will seem difficult when you’re not used to it and are changing habit, it’s not just a GUI to CLI thing.
