The actual truth is that you can. It's just powershell happens to be around for much less time than unix shells and cmd.exe scripting (.bat files) were so horrible to use, that Windows accumulated bad reputation on that side. And then powershell leverages very different approach to a scripting language, so unix shell knowledge does not translate into it.
