Well CLI and web UIs can also be used remotely. (Arguably even x11 apps can.)

Even with compression on, running most apps like a web browser over x11 forwarding, is slow to the point of almost being unusuable.

However running web apps over forwarding is pretty decent. VS Code and pgAdmin have desktop like performance running in the browser SSH port forwarded from a remote server.
