I get it, I leaned bash and never really saw the need for powershell. I typically would write only very small shell scripts in bash, and everything else in Python.
I had to learn some powershell to deploy a windows application and was immediately impressed by how much better pipelines were with objects vs strings, session object persistence, being able to call C# if needed, and so on.
I reach for powershell when I need something more complicated than is practical for me to do in bash, but notso big or complicated that I would need to go to python. Saves me a lot of time and is pleasant to write.
