Didn't know Git had a bisect feature. I'll keep that in mind for later.

Other than bisect though, I do think a lot of the practices outlined in the article (checking the blame, logs, search, etc) is way easier to do in a web UI, at least for someone like me who hasn't tailored their workflow for the command line. The tooling is so ubiquitous that it's easily available. I personally think GitHub does okay in those regards.

Personally, I've tried some graphical tools (e.g. magit on Emacs and the git tools on JetBrains IDEs), but still prefer CLI as I think those UIs hide too much from the user, specially in more complex repositories (e.g. repos with submodules).

These features (except blame) are more advanced features, that may be hidden in those interfaces. Instead of remember where they are behind some menus or shortcuts, I prefer to remember their CLI as it is faster.
