The other benefit of a GUI is that you don't have to spend time learning things you'll use once a year, and then relearning them every time.
I don't remember any of the syntax for commands I haven't used in the last month or so. GUIs are very fast for one off tasks like "Sort this CSV and only take these 3 columns".
LibreOffice loads faster than I can read 3 different man pages and figure out commands I haven't had a reason to use in months.
Plus, commands tend to be less integrated, and there are some things that GUIs automate very well, that would require writing your own automation in the CLI, and I like workflows with an absolute minimum of ad hoc software.
