the moment you pipe stdout into another process, standard output of the process
on the left side of the pipe is no longer connected to an interactive terminal.
This is a difference. The "apt" tool does not have a stable CLI interface. You
used it in a script because you connected apt's standard output to another
process using a pipe. That is not an interactive tty. Yes, you are doing it
wrong. Please read up on the difference.
