There is a standard[0] you are ignoring either intentionally or out of ignorance. It is okay that you are used to Bash but please stop spreading false information about PowerShell.

It's not false information. I'm just saying it's as idiosyncratic as bash is (and no, defining its own special standard doesn't make it less so, it just makes its idiosyncracy well defined), and that I have a hard time agreeing with anyone who says that PowerShell's syntax is more intuitive than bash. You still need to learn the special naming scheme, same as needing to learn bash's own quirks. Someone who comes from bash to PS might not know about the existence of that "standard", and might fumble about as I described.
