That does not seem to be the use case that's being examined.

The use case that's being examined is - "writing shell scripts / cron jobs / random commandline utilities".

"Random commandline utilities" sounds like exactly that; shell scripts use a lot of Unix commands, I don't know why cron jobs are mentioned.
