This isn't it at all. Great example: k9s [0]. Sure, you can manage k8s via kubectl. Or you can manage it via some web UI. And both of those options are a pain in the ass compared to what you can do in k9s in a few keystrokes. The TUI is the perfect combination, when done well, between a GUI and CLI apps. The interface can get out of the way and the usage can be driven by keyboard input vs the duality of click 'n type, or memorizing commands with a myriad of nested subcommands / flags.
