pwsh never took off because it doesn't fit the spirit of unix system administration. pwsh is object based while on unix systems, it's all about shredding text. If you are on windows, use powershell as it makes your life easier. But I don't think anyone wants to use powershell on unix, linux, etc.

“Shredding text” (is scraping) is brittle. Nearly all programmers know this. Especially people that have been using Unix for more than twenty years.

Regarding you last sentence: yes that’s why I mentioned it didn’t take off in the comment you replied to.

But long term scraping will die.
