They added PowerShell because Unix script-ability was
eating Windows' lunch.

Very surprised DFS (in the new OT thread) was suggesting that RonB
have his wife take manual backups every day.  How miserable!  Script
that (in PowerShell, if necessary), and then run it with the Scheduler.

These are computers to do our bidding. As was once said
of the Sabbath:  the computer was made for mankind, not
mankind made for the computer...

Finally, there's this:

Yep, there is pwsh for Linux, if you are a masochist...
