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.
