What would be the concept behind the password not being echoed on cli

I am curious to know why the password characters(special characters) are not echoed when we login to the system via a terminal.

But we can see the password characters(special characters) while we login to the system via GUI.

The only reason i can think of is that the total number of characters in my password wouldn't be revealed to someone who's spying over my system/password.

Any suggestions/ides?
