Discoverability. I am very comfortable on CLI, and will always prefer it over GUI for most tasks, but for OS installations, GUI is vastly superior. From the get go, if installer loads with GUI, you know that you likely won't see black screen on first boot. All the drives can be easily formatted (I always multi-boot) and there is no mental translation of how much space is used in which drive under what layout. These 2 are my primary reasons. Apart from that, if something goes wrong during setup, GUI installer almost always comes with full browser available right there for looking IP errors, eliminating need for second device. With CLI installers, there usually isn't a DE included. (NixOS disk comes with full DE option, but CLI installer, making it a hybrid, not sure about GuixSD)
