Imagine if a cellphone required you to open a terminal to configure your touchscreen or the sleep states.
It’s that bad for a newbie.
Neither windows or android have ever required me to use terminal to set them up.
Well I do, the first thing I'm running on a fresh Windows is a Windows debloater script so ironically I'm using the terminal faster after setup on Windows compared to something like PopOs.
It's funny since it's the kind of manual setup you had to do 10 years ago for Linux distributions and now it's the opposite.
+ if you are not using winget or wingetui you are missing out
secondly - microsoft has been removing stuff from the control panel and either moving it to registry only or to the new settings on a random place for quite some time now and figuring out where some items went can be painful
enabling s3 sleep? was only in registry for a while defering windows feature updates/new windows versions? gpo or registry - is that any better than a command line? autoreboots same thing and many others
also when huge features updates came out couple years ago, some of my settings got reset, so having a script that can return my pc to a desired state is prefferable to fiding all those settings again
