I'm not fantastic with Powershell but there's another potential reason: you're not allowed to run "random" exe files on $SERVER but (signed) Powershell scripts are fine. I'm not sure where the cutoff point is between this needs to be an app / this can stay as a script, but Powershell seems to lend itself to going either way. I can either incrementally replace C# functions with Powershell (while importing types and functions that I need) or incrementally replace Powershell with C# with the same method.
