Before LLMs there existed quite a few tools to try to help with understanding CLI options; off the top of my head there are https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr and explainshell.com
LLMs are both more general and more useful than those tools. They're more flexible and composable, and can replace those tools with a small wrapper script. Part of the reason why the LLMs can do that though is because it has those other tools as datasets to train off of.
