Again, if someone enjoys it or wants to do it that way, more power to them but if someone wants a common interface for most things without learning the specifics of something and the commands for it then they'll want a good gui, if it's not available they'll end up cribbing about it.
I would like to add that this was considerably recent, they pulled out of China deliberately when they were asked to censor search. Idk what changed but there have been too many changes there to pinpoint what's the actual reason.
I haven't tried Linux on desktop in years but I would like to explain why power users might prefer not learning the command line: they don't want to learn/memorize/understand the commands needed as that would take away from other things they want to spend that time on, I'm not sure why gui doesn't hold that friction but it doesn't
I also like the idea of incremental loading, even if it's not that relevant anymore. Also, I don't think your example of generation loss is enough as it's just one image, I would like to see multiple randomly picked images passed through the same process but if the results are the same as here or barely anymore loss than the best option for any given image I do think that's a good result to aim for.
I have always hated it for this, but hating on Google is so popular that you can use what's basically a website full of lies (of omission?) and get upvotes
They even include rebrands as killed, like what even… and I'm not talking about Google Play music, that was actually killed. One example is tez, the Indian version of Google pay that got rebranded to (you can guess it easily) Google pay.

Only failed on 2 because I forgot about the existence of that site
