I agree with the latter point. But I use xonsh as the shell and that has a prompt which can go on the last line of the terminal and does not get repeated each time, so when you scroll back you don't all the information each time.

I use that for starship information and the prompt is just the return code p[lus a character.

It depends on a library pigments that treats the Terminal as a TUI and not just like plain shells that just treat the terminal as a coloured teletype
