Everyones use case id different. I spend a lot of time running 2D and 3D 
CAD software. No way to avoid a GUI there.

  I watch a lot of videos.

My friend who is doing mathematical research into billion element 
matrices doesn't need a GUI but he does need to keep the windows open to 
avoid overheating

I adopted a  cell phone because I needed to receive texts.
I adopted a smart phone because it came with Wifi calling when I was 
living in an RF desert

You pick what you need to live the life you choose. What surprises me is
