How exactly is a CLI wrapper supposed to work without some kind of IPC?
Most components of the system have an associated daemon running and maintaining them.
You need some kind of way to communicate to that daemon.
DBUS is the most common and easiest way.

Most components of the system /are/ a daemon. Most of the terrible decisions in Linux infrastructure of the last 10 years have been making daemons where a protocol would would do the job more simply.
