GUIs are a way to build an AST.
You can add, remove, transform those changes, and track that history. Music software, Unreal Engine's blueprints, and other node-based programming environments have been doing this, in some cases, for decades.
Saying that 'you can't do data science is a GUI' explains more about the speakers lack of understanding of GUIs than it does about their knowledge of data science.
