That's one reason; familiarity is another.
Depending on when and how a person started out with computers, there may have been no GUI available. My university was just getting connected to the internet about a year or so before the the web came into being. I picked up a VT125 terminal and a 1200 baud modem from ham radio flea markets, and used that setup over dialup for a couple years. No GUI, all text; programming assignments, email, web in a text browser when that was a thing, NNTP.
