My point is that "silent" doesn't mean "no visible GUI." It generally
means "the installer doesn't block" (i.e., the installation completes
without user input).

For example, the popular Inno Setup install builder
(https://www.jrsoftware.org/isinfo.php) has a "/SILENT" command line
parameter, which (if the installer is designed correctly) causes the
created installer to install the package without user input. If run in
the user's session, a GUI is still visible; it just doesn't stop to
ask for any input. If you install using a software management tool,
this usually installs in a separate session, so it doesn't matter if
there's a GUI as long as no input is required.
