>everytime there is a discussions about shells on UNIX, an ad to powershell comes in.
The gp (Paul) is not "advertising Powershell" and he's not recommending people switch to it.
Instead, he's saying that it's strange that an academic paper talking about future concepts doesn't even have a cursory survey of what other popular shells have done.
Here's an example of that style of writing where other platform technologies are mentioned: Joshua Bloch is a ex-Sun employee and Java advocate proposing new syntax for Automatic Resource Management and in his note, he mentions what C# and C++ did: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/coin-dev/2009-Februar...
It shouldn't have to be said that citing C# & C++ does not mean it's an "ad for C#".
When a new 2021 paper about future of shells has no mention of zsh, Powershell, etc by the authors, it's reasonable for readers to wonder if the team has overlooked what others have done. E.g. Powershell was designed by ex-UNIX admins.
