There does seem to be a bit of it yes, but I thought it had become less common. Reminds me of a colleague I met once who was happily boasting he's a 'real' HTML developer because he writes everything in Microsoft notepad. I took a look at his work and cried inside - broken tags, bad formatting and of course he didn't escape all his characters correctly. Being able to type some characters on a keyboard does not make anyone superior to a user that uses a point+click interface. |

There isn’t a causal relationship, but the two are heavily correlated. Getting deep into the details of most server software means doing so via CLI, because the people who built the software intended it to be used there, since servers are usually headless.
Even if you run a DE, chances are high you’ll still end up editing some config files in a text editor, and running commands in a terminal emulator.
It’s a bit like [n]vi[m] - learning its esoteric commands doesn’t make you good at coding or ops, but there’s a decent chance you wouldn’t bother to spend the time learning it unless you needed the speed increases it grants you.
