    Software would be more useful if every end-user program has both GUI and minimal TUI modules, as in Dolphin vs cp, mv etc.

    Why?

    GUI: Year of the Linux smartphone

    TUI: Automation, scripting.

      TUI is a subset of GUI that uses text in a terminal to render UI elements. It does not make automation any easier. What you want is called CLI.
