Pretty simple, folks are trying to get shit done. Not screw around with tools. One or two clicks where someone else did the hard work wins every time.

I use the cli as well, the clicks above refer to clicking the squash checkbox on a merge request in gitlab. This is 10x faster than hand-crafting an artisanal one to tell a story.
