Nah, wget is the best.

the legit question then is why isn't uget relying on wget

Thats a CLI program...

This is Linux, what did you expect?

This is exactly what I expected and that isn't a good thing to increase market share. The answer to how often the average end user opens a terminal is "no".

... and that is why the average user stays an average user.

that's arguable, if there is a "market share" increase but users are not actually empowered nor use solutions that improve the situation for us all, e.g privacy, then what is even the point of such an increase?

I'm not saying everybody installing Linux for the first time should rely on the command line but IMHO being afraid or averse to it is not actually helpful for a deeper understanding and thus improving the situation.
