Because email is text based so text based help is a logical step. Most of
the official documentation also includes text based help which is usually
quicker than a user trying to find what is being described and possibly
clicking the wrong thing and possibly screwing their system. A command from
a knowledgeable user will simply do the job and can be copy and pasted to
the terminal to precisely achieve the goal.
