A well-made TUIs is really ergonomic and clutter-free. It can be maintained to high standard by one person. It doesn't take a lot of efforts to make composable tools, ie pipes. It uses little resources even for fancy TUIs.
GUIs can be fine, but they are hard to get right, most are meh or just bad, and they are human resources sinks.
