Why can't I just "apt-get install" tools like this?

I used to have all the powerful tools at my fingertips but now I feel like my Linux distro is slowly disappearing into a vortex of irrelevance.

I wouldn't blame apt-get, there are a lot of command-line tools nowadays. I don't usually install these if its not going to be a frequent task.

Anyways, if you're looking for a cmd tool, rembg [0] is a pretty good one.

For every Linux power user, there are probably a million regular web users who don't know (or care to know) what a command line is. Web tools are for them.

Why not fork the repo and repackage it as a CLI app if you really want it that way?

Because someone just created it so no one has packaged it yet

People are trying to write software for GPUs more commonly now + because of the troubled GPU programming landscape, it's hard to make programs that work more than one vendor's proprietary flavour of GPU. WebGPU is an attempt to address some of that in browser apps, but it's not ready yet.
