Okay
Lol, you see, I was thinking about making a Gui using Ruby's Glimmer gem as a frontend for bitcoind that sets the RPC auth methods automatically and over local host, but I didn't feel motivated. Bitcoin core does have its own GUI and you can even transmit PSBTs with it.
Actually can you go into more detail about the inspiration behind why you made this post?
I work on core. This is meant as an amusing way to point out an issue and why it's very important to support truly free & open source UI's instead of just the protocol stuff. If the only way that non-technical people can use bitcoin is through corporate API's because we didn't value building out these non-corporate UI's, we didn't do anything good here. Support projects like sparrow, and the bitcoin core gui https://bitcoincore.app :)
