I mean, yeah? As much as I hate to admit it (and believe me, I hate to admit it), PowerShell is better than bash at composing tools made by all sorts of people on the fly in easy to write pipelines. I have my issues with it as a language, but it's not like I'm thrilled to write bash. Nushell is an attempt at making a scripting language which builds on bash, rather than supplanting it. PowerShell is much less nice on Linux, especially when you'd have to translate every existing resource.

Yeah, PowerShell eliminated the output parsing overhead which was the significant portion of any composed shell operation. That's where all shells need to be heading I believe.
