The vast majority of residential users would be absolutely terrified to perform actions in the command prompt.

There's an "App Store" inside Ubuntu. It comes with a stock, mainstream web browser. It can semi-easily install most Windows applications. It's about as intuitive as Windows before cracking Terminal features. What exactly would the users being described need to so in the Terminal?

There is absolutely zero reason for "the vast majority of residential users" to EVER need to open a terminal and start typing commands. Modern distros of Linux are more simple to administer through the GUI than modern versions of Windows. I use the terminal for certain tasks because thats the way I learned it 10ish years ago and my line of work requires it. However, everything the common user needs to do can be accomplished in the GUI
