Haha but no, they're not similar. We can absolutely influence the prevalence of inappropriate GUI interfaces. For starters, push back if someone tells you to make one inappropriately. I don't think there's a huge market demand from GUI-prone programmers; I believe those people skew more towards being less opinionated and just using what's suggested. It's more driven by product managers and people writing code using languages/frameworks that are very divorced from the command line perpetuating the same thing in the products they create.
