Yup. though a lot of things are more effecient and easily understood with GUIs than command line interfaces. Imagine a volume slider. on the other hand there’s a lot of things that are much more convenient in a terminal window.
sure. you can use
amixer sset Master 50%
to set volume to 50%, but it’s faster and more intuitive to use the GUI for it.
It literally takes me a longer time to move my hand over to the pointer and slide the little arrow to the volume controls than it takes me to tap the terminal button and give a short command. Point is moot for me personally though, as volume always stays mute :D
The good thing is, a proper operating system just let’s you do what works for you. Obviously there is no one way that’s best for everyone.
As you said, that’s an example of a CLI, yet a TUI would be something different, e.g. like the non-graphical installer of your dear Linux distribution.

GUI:
vs CLI:
As someone with a tremor in both hands: sliders are assholes!
And then there’s that.
