those users would be comfortable using the command line to install them.

I have noted this before but this isn't a good assumption. I am very
comfortable using yum,dnf etc but I would prefer to use GNOME Software
since I get the benefit of ratings and while I am using GNOME Software to
install a bunch of apps, picking up git and mutt (or even graphical apps
that don't ship with appdata etc) along the way is easier than mentally
switching contexts depending on whether the app fits GNOME Software
requirements to be listed.
