As an university level educator: This is repeatedly a major hurdle for beginners, that makes the terminal (just text) feel like a different thing than just text to them. This and the fact that you can't just select the commands you have written with the mouse or with shift arrow makes beginners go mad, seemingly for no reason. And I count myself in there, I struggled with this for more than a year. When do you paste how? When donyou copy how?
The problem when you're learning this yourself is that you won't even have the correct vocabulary to describe what you want to know, it just feels like 99% of the world works and the 1% that doesn't is the terminal.
I get that this is historical, but if we want people to understand computers betond the consumer level this is literally like Blender changing from righ-click-select to left-click-select. Back then all the pros said it is no biggie just like you, but it turns out it was a biggie, because since then popularity exploded.
We terminal nerds lose nothing if more people understand terminals, quite the opposite.
