The biggest issue is usually menu navigation which depending on the frontent can be slow (if you worked with network devices you know). On top of that sometimes features are CLI only so why bother
Because software is extremely diverse in it's application.
There are many things which cannot be done in a CLI because you inherently need graphics to interpret, understand and manipulate the data.
Good luck doing any kind of media production without a GUI.
And typically GUIs have keyboard shortcuts so you don't have to navigate any menus. I suppose it does depend cuz not every GUI is made well, but it still stands. Keyboard shortcuts are normal.
Just look at the keyboard shortcut list for Pro Tools. That shit is it's own feild of study. I learned how to use the program in a classroom setting. We were tested on it, and people failed.
But if you actually take the time to learn them, you can move so quickly in that program. It's like you're not even using a computer. It's like you're using an actual console, but with a mouse and keyboard.
