GUI is not intrinsically any more resource-heavy than TUI; ultimately you need to render stuff on screen somehow and get user input, and going through tty layer just is extra bloat.
It isn't extra bloat when you are already using that layer for other things and also doesn't require any extra packages or connections on your side of things.
Specifically when dealing with remote environments where you connect to through ssh anyway it is really awesome when some things can be done through a nice TUI.
In that context a GUI would actually be more resource heavy considering that it likely will be web based with much more client side processing happening for the GUI.
