But modern terminals can do all that, with an editing mode that is tailored to terminal use rather than editing text.

Sorry I just don't understand why I'd want to use a text editor as my command line.

They can't though, a modern terminal cannot behave as a vim buffer. You can't have 25% of your terminal as a shell and the other 75% vim, they can't split like that. I'm not aware of any terminal that allows integration with vim registers or use vim motions.
