Last time I suggested [1] an approach to learning and taming the git CLI, somebody said that they want to design and write code, rather than learn too much CLI-fu. Big projects like Linux and Emacs can get away with requiring their contributors to learn the tools well enough. However, many developers may decide to avoid contributing rather than learn the tool, if the project is a small one.
Again, I agree with what you say - that's what I practice too.
