I don't write shell scripts for nontrivial things and it's rare that I see a good reason to, so I'm not sure that moves the needle much. It's 2019, we have other scripting tools, etc.

Being practical about it: if you install fish you can also install bash, and then running a bash script is as simple as `bash script.sh`, so you can have your cake and eat it too. Although, in this particular instance, if Apple is going to cease shipping bash at all, I can see why this would be annoying out of the box.
