This would be my first question. Anybody naming things in IT knows that you go from big to small. From large domains to specific actions. Secondly, how are you supposed to learn which of the 40+(?) verbs to use. Store, Save, Put, Add. Update? In many cases it does not make any sense.

Have you tried reading the docs? A full list of approved verbs is available, and describes in detail when you should use them and what synonyms they should replace. It makes sense for anyone willing to spend a moment investigating why it's designed that way.

Tell that to the people writing PS modules. :) Put, Update, Update, Put? PS is a good example of overdesign imho. Also, one can compare for instance Az CLI with Az PS. Takes at least 5 times longer to do anything in Az PS.
