So they're going to build a complex system to correct possible user command line errors. That new system itself will introduce possible errors. Wouldn't an administrative GUI have been much simpler to implement overall?

Do you have an assumption that GUIs are safer than command lines? Or have fewer programming bugs in them? I don't think either is true.

No, they're introducing safeguards to an already established system. It's not even that complex, for that matter.
