Like all shells, PowerShell is split between being a scripting language and an interactive shell.

PowerShell leans a bit more towards being a scripting language than an interactive shell, so things are more verbose, as befits a shell script that needs to be read and updated later by a different programmer.

But yeah, lots of little trade offs like that permeate the language.
