The problem is that a user may search for "an email program". With certain
normal expectations (such as a graphical interface). And it gets really
tedious, if to the user a long list of programs is displayed, which
contains Curses-based programs or even CLI tools like mailx.

I hope the screenshots and features apps in programs like gnome-software
will serve as a good hint. Perhaps packagers will add screenshots for
terminal based programs however, and then for the user that would be
more stuff to wade through again, and the user may want to filter out
CLI tools.

I just noticed ELM is not included within the package collection anymore.
