The idea here is to click instead of type, but to me, the terminal is about not using the mouse in the first place. Same reason I like vim over vs code
Exactly this. When I'm using the terminal or other command line, my hands are nowhere near my mouse. I very much don't want to use the mouse in that situation.
The converse is also true: when I'm using a GUI, I very much want to minimize the use of the keyboard.
The two devices are physically mutually exclusive: I can't use them at the same time, so they represent two natural and distinct "modes" of input.

I'm a two-fisted user (when a separate mouse is available) - I want to use the mouse for what "does not make sense" to use the keyboard for ... and vice-versa
