Scripting in bash in a portable manner on embedded system is exactly the niche use cases I talked about. The router example is aimed at it, because it's the right size ratio to be small, but have an OS running.

Still, the vast majority of IT projects do not fall in that category.

It exists, but it's a very, very small % of why you need a bash script. And in fact, even those advocating for bash portability almost never fall into the category of people that have to do it in their daily job.

I'll go even further and even state that a lot of embedded system don't even have bash scripting capabilities in the first place.
