What do you mean by “CTA”? How don’t see how “Call to Action” is relevant in this context, seeing how it’s more of a UX design concern than a technical thing. Or does it have some other meaning that does not appear in Google’s first page of results and that ChatGPT is not aware of, and yet “Anyone worth any kind of respect” already implements?
Oh ok. I guess we have a different definition of what “locked” means. One could definitely make a GUI for simple commands. Who knows, maybe some students somewhere already have.
Terminal = freedom
Locking things behind terminal is not.
It’s not locking behind terminal. It’s just not implementing gui. Which is completely valid since that takes time and effort
Also, writing a GUI wrapper for a terminal-only program is much easier than writing a terminal wrapper for a GUI-only program.

People are free to write a GUI for it, assuming it’s free software. And you are free to not use a terminal and use any GUI alternatives.
I mean, locking things behind a GUI definitely isn’t freedom. GUIs are very limited compared to most terminal interfaces.
it’s just very hard to make a usable ui, and extremely easy to make a great cli interface
Are there programs that are locked behind a terminal?
