That structured CLI already exists: PowerShell cmdlets.

  Not in any meaningful, general way on Unix systems it doesn't. Nobody uses psh outside Windows

    But nobody is using your hypothetical "structured CLI-based --help-equivalent consumable by LLMs and shell completion engines alike" either. In terms of mindshare, you're starting from scratch either way. I just remembered docopt, which maybe fits the bill in a more Unixy way, but it and its ports are mostly abandoned, for various reasons.

    Maybe they should consider using it.

      Okay, but they won't. We both know that. Now what?
