Already happening my friend. uutils. It is MIT licensed. Funnily, I recall someone had a story at MIT about not liking passwords. I'm sure they were right?

I tried just a few months ago. Two shell scripts I use failed due to something wonky with sort.

Everything else worked well enough for my use case.

It may be happening in your bubble, yes, but not outside of that. They are not 1:1 replacements at all, with probably logic bugs introduced (see their Issues page) as well (call them regressions). I would not hold my breath if I were you.
