I think the flaw here is that you're (likely) comparing purpose-built with unrelated unix-like apps.
What could have been done here with Keybase, is a purpose built app composed of unix-like tools, all controlled and implemented towards the purpose-built app. Aka the IM would be unique if you wanted it, or bundled with the FS, but both would be first-class Keybase citizens.
Unfortunately most companies don't put the time or effort into letting people consume parts of their offerings. It's all or nothing. Which is the complaint here, imo.
