All the information is there, but the presentation isn't. You have to keep querying it while you're debugging. Sure, there are TUI debuggers that are more like GUI debuggers. Except that they are worse at everything compared to a GUI debugger.

I don’t know what debugger you’ve used but the entire query command is `f v` in lldb for the current stack frame

Yes, but in a GUI debugger the stack and everything else is available all the time and you don't have to enter commands to see what the state is. It even highlights changes as you step. It's just so plainly superior to any terminal solution.
