Your analogy is completely awful
The janitor knows nothing about dentistry. The git GUI knows plenty about it and the devs make it their job to know it too. A janitor is not an abstraction, he's a liability. If a GUI abstraction helps me get the job done faster, I really don't see the problem. Plus almost every one of them fully state the commands being used to perform every action and have logs you can parse. I used to use Sublime Merge and now use Fork and both have this

Someone who actually knows dentistry and can help with some of the simpler tasks to leave the dentist to concentrate on the actual surgery. You basically tried to fit a square hole in a round peg with your "analogy" to make your terrible point
