They're not GUI, they're TUI.
Not as awesome as CLI, which features stuff like user action history, but you still get to use the terminal, so you get stuff like being able to use it inside `tmux`, or recording what's happening with `script`, or copy any text without the interface being able to disallow it, or pasting a generated set of user actions (when you skip terminal pasting protections) to automate your use of the program, or being able to safely automate its use with something like tk's `expect`, which allows you to factor-in whatever the program outputs (something you can't do with GUI without something like OCR).
CLIs are much easier to automate, though.
