Are there programs that are locked behind a terminal?

Are you kidding? There are literally hundreds of commands in the terminal which don't have a symmetrical GUI application baked into the OS.

Why would you create a whole GUI for a simple command such as scp and tail. Literally half of Linux is solely in the terminal

Oh ok. I guess we have a different definition of what "locked" means. One could definitely make a GUI for simple commands. Who knows, maybe some students somewhere already have.
