Yes, powershell is an insufferable language. It is in good company with every other language ever invented by humans.

"Unexpected behaviors and badly designed features." Are you talking about ... C? PHP? Javascript? Java? Ruby?

The design/implementation faults in C, for example, come at a cost of billions of dollars a year in damages (and that doesn't include the cost of mitigation).

Sure, Powershell has plenty of warts, point me to a perfect language that does what Powershell does as well as it does but without the warts and then people can stop using Powershell.
