The first point is that it makes it easier to learn the concept of Git, which is most of the difficulty. Yes Git's CLI is really terrible, but if you know the concepts you can mostly just google the CLI options and learn through repetition.
The second point is that GUIs make it easier to see the state of the repo. There's a reason that even the CLI includes a basic GUI. Don't tell me you never use `git log --oneline --decorate=all --graph`.
