Because it's not user friendly in the slightest, and for the average user they perhaps wouldn't know if the command is malicious or not. I remember when I was younger (like 5/6 years old!) and would accidentally reboot Windows 98 into DOS mode and almost start crying thinking that I'd broken the computer and would have to ask my dad who would reboot the machine. I work in development teams (.NET mainly so most are GUI-centric) where full-blown developers get uneasy with PowerShell/CMD.
