    do more like the power shell way

I just checked the GitHub page [1] for Microsoft PowerShell. It looks written in C# and available on Win32/MacOS/Linux, where DotNet is now supported. Do you use PowerShell only on Win32 or other platforms also?

    Everyone seems to want to invent their own new esoteric symbolic query language

Can you give an example of something that PS can do that is built-in for text processing, instead of a proprietary symbolic query language?

By "the powershell way" I don't mean actually using powershell. I just mean using verbose, descriptive commands that one can easily understand what it does without having a working knowledge of the scripting language.
