For me a TUI constrains the style of presentation to something reasonably good. In an era of websites with tiny light gray font on dark gray background, where scrolling is really a javascript page load, and the back arrow is not respected, I just want to simplify to something that works and is always the same and that I can read with my old eyes.

Somewhere along the way, GUIs seemingly went from economy of use to a graphical resume for the developer (or their manager).
