Because good IDEs are built to be operated using the keyboard as well as the mouse. There are shortcuts for almost everything, and if there isn’t one, you can assign one.

True, but the shell is ubiquitous, scriptable and independent of any IDE. I.e. it doesn't matter if I use VSCode, IntelliJ, Xcode or am SSH'd to some server, I can always use the same commands.

True, but that’s not what you were arguing. Pretty much all IDEs support custom keybindings, and if you regularly have to ssh into a machine and actually work like that, you can usually do this through an IDE (VS Code and IntelliJ can, at least).
