Can someone explain to me the logic that I, as a user, cannot, by default,
mount a DVD from the command line, but I can mount it via dolphin?

Dolphin (and consorts) call "udisks" via messagebus / udev protocoll, and
thus get the permission / rights to do it without direct "root rights"

You can do that manually fron the commandline via the "udisksctl" tool.
See "man udisksctl" for details.

PS: No, the question was not dumb, that udev stuff fools me up from
time to time to.
