They want everything to be accessible and to be easy.
CLI is both accessible and easy, intuitive even. The only problem is that it requires a fundamental knowledge basis, and some syntactic context. But that’s all pretty minimal.
I would argue a GUI is more confusing if it has any nested elements in it (like photoshop for example)
Agreed. But some people who never ever touched a terminal are scared by them and think they should not have to ever touch it. They can’t fathom that it’s actually less complicated to use for some tasks. And so this topic comes up every few days and nothing ever changes. Round and round it goes, like clockwork.
