Sorry, but that’s kind of a made up definition of “command”. By that definition, gzip is a command on “most” systems, bzip2 on “a lot”, and xz on “some”. And yet they are all entered on the command line.

"I wouldn't call it"... I might be encouraged to give context for my subjective opinion. If youd rather make fun of my perceived ignorance, thats also your prerogative. Also, BSD is not Linux.
