What advantages does this provide over the Windows 10 terminal? Windows 10 fixed all of my biggest gripes with cmd.exe

It's more about muscle memory and not having to retrain your brain.

After using Mac for such a long time, it's nice to not have to recondition yourself to having to use backslashes or using commands like `dir` instead of `ls`.

PowerShell calls its directory listing `ls`. Its "support" is limited to little more than the command name.
