Just because the average home computer user didn't write launch codes in commodore 64 when they were 8 like you and I did, or just I did, doesn't mean you flip out at them for not knowing the command line.
Most people found it a pain in the arse to just put in "win" and hit enter back in the day.
The GUI is made for normal people to be able to utilize computers, it's spoon fed to them so there is more buyers of technology, giving them more interest, without that we wouldn't have GUI's that make things more simple.
Though we'd still have big corporations tossing out the idea of home computers.
If we didn't have the huge market we have of all these spoon fed people we wouldn't have so many advancements in technology because there wouldn't of been a need for it since no high-end graphics cards are needed at text prompts like dos or ssh.
We definitely wouldn't have videos, or H264 video for that matter either, or flash games.
You can definitely throw DVDs out, Bluray discs, HDTVs and Satellites cause you just want plain old analog things.
