Sorry, was private repo, now its public.
I think we are talking a bit past each other here. I don't contest the benefit of writing small helper utilities.

This is more true with Bash than Powershell. However, this is the same with programming languages in general. There are those who look at Julia's syntax and think it's absolutely beautiful and those who consider it to be absolutely bad and prefer Visual Basic.
Example: https://github.com/majkinetor/SSImport
That script made noticeable difference in speed, quality and pleasure on our recent project (production tests on payment gateway for half of the country) as before I wrote it, devs did it by hand which took 10s of minutes every day with awkward tools (if they made an error, even more) and they complained about the chore. The script literarry replaces entire feature of the Sql Server Management Studio and I did it during the weekend.
Regarding syntax, not sure why would you consider that awkward. IMO, it can't be easier to read in any language, both configuration and code.
