I agree that powershell is now better than bash. But it took SO LONG to get there. Moreover, bash has had a 12 year head-start (ok, 30 if you count earlier unix shells). Bash has legacy inertia. Even though you can now supposedly run powershell in linux, I don't know anyone who does. Does anybody?
That said, I think powershell is great for utility-knife uses on windows machines.

I replaced all of the automation scripts on my rpi with pwsh scripts, and I'm not regretting it. Not having to deal with decades of cruft in argument parsing and string handling, learning little DSLs for every command, etc. is so worth it.
