I've been meditation in silence for years. Never found something more annoying than a "guiding voice".

You didn't use any kind of a guide for your first few sessions? You sat in silence on day 1?

I like that you find that weird.

I think it's a little like learning how to play a piano. You can sit down and teach yourself or you can look for help from a teacher. Either way works although I think most people benefit from some guidance.

Myself started from counting to 100 on breathing, then advanced to silence. Guided meditation is quite different, from my experiences. Not the op.

I found a singing bowl to be much more useful myself.

Guided meditation has a long history. There are some amazing Buddhist guided meditations.
