Why is having PowerShell be the focal point for this bizarre? PowerShell is Windows' native command line interface.

Most of the scriptable administration tools (which are being heavily promoted as the primary way to administer Windows boxes these days) are PowerShell based, the tools for talking to Azure are PowerShell based, the new package manager in Windows 10 is PowerShell based, etcetera.

OpenSSH isn't being ported to Windows to make Windows overall more POSIXish; it's being ported to make managing Windows boxen from POSIX ones easier, and vice versa.
