It feels like the devs are completely clueless about open source, command line, and modern shell features.

There's so many great projects for bash and zsh add-ons like fzf.

Right: Assuming good faith, this project seems completely backwards.

But if their real product is the telemetry that also ships with it, and they've identified that many newbie developers have a hard time seeing through marketing pages directed at developers (eg like "webscale" stuff from mongodb circa 2010), then it, unfortunately, makes more sense.
