How I'd normally write that command in PS:

`$someJsonText | convertfrom-json | % name`

the `| % [property name]` is shorthand for pulling out some root level property on an object in the pipeline

(just for reference; not really trying to prove any point)

What I personally like about PS in this case is that the syntax of the operation feels very consistent with the rest of powershell, but that's not a dig against jq (I use it a lot when I'm on macos); just my subjective impression, and not an objective claim of quality.
