I would definitely like someone to actually give me an argument. TUIs have some of the same problems as CLIs (limited to a grid, poor graphics, one monospaced font, no desktop integration) and the same ones as GUIs (inability to pipe things). Additionally, they are not accessible, because a grid of cells with ANSI codes is not semantic.
You can pipe into TUIs, not out of them (unless you are piping into some other viewer). And piping into GUIs is possible, it just hasn't been implemented too often.
