Nonsense. That's a terrible metric.
If i need to run 11 commands in a row, suddenly i need to make sure new tooling is installed in my instance and/or ship a binary?
What if that 11 lines is setting up some networking? Now i need to go write a 400 line go program to use netlink to accomplish the same task? Or should I condense that to 80 lines of go to shell out the commands that replicate the 11 lines of simple bash?
There are plenty of reasons to do this, I have done it more than once. None of those reasons are "crossed an arbitrary magic number of 'lines of shell'".
