In addition to what other commenters said - TUIs can be installed on a server and used over SSH

This is the part that I like the most, which is why I created https://pico.sh

Further, when building ssh "apps" you can build out tooling for client clis that already exist (e.g. rsync, sftp, scp, sshfs). This provides ergonomics because now users aren't required to install extra tools to deploy static sites, for example.

The entire experience is pretty seamless since all developers use SSH anyway.

Well CLI and web UIs can also be used remotely. (Arguably even x11 apps can.)

		Even with compression on, running most apps like a web browser over x11 forwarding, is slow to the point of almost being unusuable. However running web apps over forwarding is pretty decent. VS Code and pgAdmin have desktop like performance running in the browser SSH port forwarded from a remote server.
