Also even when just using Windows, it's frustrating how the ecosystem convention seems to be to launch a heavy program with an idiosyncratic GUI to do any simple file -> file transformation. And half the time these trivial apps are proprietary free/shareware nagging you to "upgrade" for features like "not arbitrarily restricted to 10 files". Luckily a lot of the command line tools I use on Linux will run on Windows, it's just that few people bother due to an irrational fear of the command line

Or how about all those windows 99% CLI programs that once in a silver moon decide to bother the user with a pop-up "Are you sure Y/N?". You find these on billboard, kiosks, payment terminals, ATMs.

Or try running a simple Java tool on headless Windows using Jenkins agent or cygwin SSH and you'll discover how horribly bad relying on a GUI can be. Or: how about automatically launching a MacOS VM on VMWare and setting up a VPN tunnel after a restart power outage without a mouse, keyboard and display. Should work in theory, but in practice never gets beyond most of the time.
