>I usually install Debian, haven't touched Fedora in a while, but what is the use of a GUI installer ?

Anaconda also has a TUI - it can be seen on this older screenshot from Fedora Magazine for example:
https://fedoramagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/tui...

It is also possible to fully automate the installation using kickstart:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/f36/install-g...

Other things can be configured via boot options:
https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boot-options.html

Or configuration files:
https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/configuration-files.html

GUI is only one of the possible ways of interacting with the installer. :)
