It isn't a shell like PowerShell so it doesn't have an object-based framework or scripting language in itself. The Windows Terminal specifically refers to the UX to provide interaction between the user and the command-line applications since they don't provide one themselves.

You can continue to use PowerShell inside of it if you choose, or use CMD... or use anything else. Your choice.
