The purpose is not so much Claude Code, but that LLMs running semi-autonomously in a shell environment with access to Unix tools are powerful in a way that a web chatbot is not. Replace Claude Code with some other TUI such as opencode and, modulo some of the specifics of CC's implementation, the truth still stands.
