If you can get the same amount of work done with a button click rather than typing out a complicated command line string, you might as well use the GUI, right click menu, etc. and make it easier for the typical person.

That also means any water that gets in can’t easily get out, and it can cause rust to form if it makes it through the coating and is left on there.
