Pretending that terminal or command line applications are immune to a very common mode of attack, even to them, is itself dangerous thinking.
This could potentially add a new attack surface, sure, but don't think that without it, exploits aren't possible.

It is a choice between being low hanging fruit or not being low hanging fruit. With enough effort, any fruit is accessible. However it is immature internet forum behavior to chide someone for choosing not to be low hanging fruit.
