I've been using Linux since ~1996; I used to wonder about this a lot.

The tl;dr answer is, it's too much effort only to solve the problem of making life easier for new users, and it can be a disservice to users in the long run.

As others have pointed out, there are limited GUI tools for common administration roles.

Power users are much, much faster at doing things via CLI. Most administrative tasks involve text file management and the UNIX userland is exceptional at processing text files.

A graphical tool would have to deal with evolving system software and APIs, meaning the GUI tool would be on constant outpatient care; this is counter to the UNIX philosophy which is to make software simple and well-defined such that it can be considered "done" and remain versatile and flexible enough to live for decades virtually unchanged.

It wouldn't be that much easier for things like network rules unless a truly incredible UI was designed, and that would be a risk since the way that's implemented at the system level is subject to change at any point. It's hard enough keeping CLI userland tools in sync with the kernel as it is.

It would need to be adaptable to the ways different distributions do things. Administration on CentOS is not always the same as it is on Debian.

And ultimately, the longer a user spends depending on GUI tools, the longer it will take them to learn and become proficient with the CLI, which will always be a far more useful skill to have. You'll never learn the innards of containers or VPS' if you only know how to do things from the GUI.
