This would only be an accurate analogy if a vast majority of people had been using hammers for their whole lives while never seeing a screwdriver, and screwdrivers required dozens to hundreds of hidden magic words to make use of them.

Like, I enjoy the terminal, but it's way less convenient if you're exploring an interface (and never read the man page) to figure out how anything works. Even with the man pages, it's far easier to see a button that says "add box" or whatever then to scroll through paragraphs of text and eventually discover that -Bc was the secret switch combo to add a box or whatever. Once you know it, the terminal is of course more ergonomic, but so many people would never want to try to take that leap.

This is as someone who grew up with Windows and graphical UIs, so they are natively more intuitive to me then text UIs, even if the same verbs can be accessed easier in a console. It's also true that a GUI will typically be designed to steer you toward common commands and away from dangerous or niche ones in a way that no man page I've read does.

I do think most of the popular system configuration tasks should be (and are being) wrapped by some kind of nice UI, just for ease of use. Of course, these tools should be talking to a tool that has a CLI as well. I think KDE Discover vs apt is a good example (though PackageKit could use some work). Discover works well as a storefront and update tool, while apt is good if you already know the name of the package and want to install or update more efficiently.
