Every day I have to open a VM as I turn on the computer. I could go find and open Virtual box, then select the VM and open it. Why would I do that when I can open the terminal and run a script that does that in a single action. Then I have to SSH into that machine that always has the same IP. Why should I have to type the IP every time?

Scripts are good when used correctly. I don't need to know what vboxmanage to run to do whatever I want, I just needed to search it once and remove it from my brain.

Kinda unrelated but:

I don't think you should know how to do everything from the git CLI. For 99% of use cases, the IDE already knows how to do what you want to do, with a simple button. For the rest, just search for the git command when you need it.
