That's kind of like saying the 'rm' command is not well thought out, because many people wouldn't want to delete the whole file system when running 'rm -r /'.

Also, when ran in bash but also supported by other shells, it supports regular expressions and extended pattern matching letting you for example specify not which files you want deleted, but which files you want not.
