I get your instinct, but there is one thing missing. I’m theory, my CI isn’t really being run in a known environment. I can’t write a shell script to power the ci, because how am I to know the CI launcher even has a shell? Of course, once an environment has been deployed, I am safe to switch to write shell scripts, calling system commands, etc. But it does make some sense to be completely static at the start and I haven’t be even picked an operating system.
