But powershell is an all or nothing proposition. At my job, the majority use OSX. I use Linux. Since we all use bash, there's very little friction here. I can't "just use powershell" in this scenario at all.

Actually that's changing - PowerShell Core works anywhere .NET Core does (including OSX and Linux).

(although that doesn't account for personal preference, of course)
That does help, and is welcome. But convincing a team to switch something as fundamental as their shell is an uphill battle. I'm sure PowerShell is great (I've never used it), but shells always struck me as the kind of thing where "good enough is good enough".
