The most common explanation: "cute" interactions make it harder to script the command-line tools because you have to account for the extra layer of indirection or write a bit of screen-scrape logic to get the command prompt input.

I've always found that explanation a little threadbare.

I think the hoops you have to jump through should scale with severity. Then if you find yourself writing scripts that screen-scrape interactive output to get around some safeguards, you're doing something very wrong.
