A pretty weak form of reliance at best. Current whole-system GUIs do rely on program execution, which in Unix shares kernel primitives (fork, execve, etc) and other conventions (like the PATH environment variable) with the shell. The situation is similar in Windows. I don’t think I’d count that as ‘the CLI’ though, the human-computer interface we use is the shell. You could imagine fundamentally different designs. For example you could build everything out of loadable library-like components and use something in the execution layer to enforce appropriate isolation within a single process (e.g. a JVM, although I also wonder about CHERI here), but at least for the time being, that’s not what we have in real life. Looking a bit wider, web applications are GUIs that don’t involve anything immediately recognizable as command-line execution. -- https://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/
