The more I think about, the more I'm convinced that it's an unconscious choices made by developers to keep away non power users.

Or maybe they don't want to waste their time for users who can't even be bothered to type a few keys?

GUI is a great concept, but at some point, for more advanced operations, terminal simply makes more sense.

Honestly, I speak with many devs. It's a conscious choice. Gatekeeping in the Linux community is off the charts.

Nah, non-Electron GUI dev is a mess and I don't want to add 100mb to my app. CLIs are easy to write.
