If I go to the computer of a typical GUI user, I find that their
desktop is full of files. Usually this will be a mix of downloads
(recent and old), applications (depending on OS), data files (some
important, some out-of-date, and some rubbish).

GUIs do nothing to ensure users use good organisational techniques for
filing important data.
