i view the marketing as showing they care about product and users here
Terminals are one of the most direct ways to interact with hardware. If you need to share your hardware with someone else, then you share your screen or a recording. If you need to share your environment or she'll settings, you share scripts.
There's nothing to terminal use to be gained by trying to shoehorn in more net connections, and more uncertainty by merging in more sources of input. By cramming that in you are doing the opposite of caring about users. You're introducing extra elements that can break, decreasing the overall learnability of the system.
No, you're reaction is perfectly reasonable for such nonsensical hyperbole.
