So what ? They're still closer by an order of magnitude to classical
text apps than to a GUI in the Gnome sense.

They have no windows. They use text everywhere. No icons. etc...

Sometimes they purposefully use a motif-like dark on grey interface
(even if the underlying toolkit is more capable) just because that's
what the operators are used to, and in the real world same as before is
better than changed and slightly improved.
