This is a big thing on Windows, but not so much on Linux, where you have a number of languages available - you don't need to write all your scripts in Bash - a lot of my company's automation is written in Python, which is vastly superior as a programming language - and you don't need to limit yourself to what's built into the shell - there are dozens of small utilities that operate on streams that make your life easier. The self-contained approach of a shell-to-end-all-shells makes sense in the Windows environment (where "curl" is not an executable) and absolutely doesn't anywhere else.
