I mean why stop there, the fact that someone has to lift a finger might be a problem. Why do we even require people to be able to comprehend language? Heck, why do we design things that are not usable by your average garden rock? This is just blatantly anti-user.

The usual OS that many gnu/linux distros compare to is usually Mac OS. As a user, you can configure most of the things that you would like to configure without opening a terminal, ever. Heck, when I was given a macbook from work and had to quickly share some music files with some relatives, I was able to set up the equivalent of a samba share 100% via gui, and it worked. Yeah if your target is the average user, non-technical (think of the average grandmother/grandfather) to very-little-technical (office worker that uses the computer but only as a tool to do their job), the fact that opening a terminal is necessary is a problem.
