I'm happy we have special-purpose tools for dealing with logfiles. I don't want to craft one-liners for "give me logs around timestamp" or "give me logs about my service's first start after the boot" every other day.

"I don't want to craft one-liners"

I do. I specifically want that as a more valuable and powerful feature. Undifferentiated, open-ended, general purpose, sharp tools are infinitely more useful.
