Shell tooling is as successful today in large part due to it's simple byte string/file based protocol. Adding structured data types to the shell and shell command pipelining would turn it from something with a good UI but meh for scripting to one that is good at scripting but meh for UI. Shells are primarily a UI and the focus should stay on that.
