Ubuntu has been getting this right for a while now. You can install it by basically booting the install media and clicking "next" a bunch of times, then it gives you an interface with icons for Firefox and LibreOffice that someone who has never used it before could easily figure out.
You could use it for ten years without having to know that the terminal is even there, but it is, along with /etc and OpenSSH and everything else Unix-like systems have had for decades.
Because you don't need brutish uniformity. Some people like to download things with Firefox and some people like to download things with curl and there is no reason they can't both exist on the same system.
