Twice now you haven't read the post you're responding to. I don't think sed is the same thing as awk, nor do I think it is the same as bash, I have never said that, in fact I have said quite the opposite: that you'd likely use all of those together. This is incredibly common behaviour in Unix scripts: you might not like stream editing but many find it cleaner than awk's less well known language.

You seem to have gone out of your way to attribute some kind of conspiratorial malice or gross incompetence to a simple, TESTABLE fact: shell scripts plus text manipulation languages are frequently replaced by single language scripts, which have a unified, consistent syntax and high level data structures.

Since you're not reading my posts, I'm not going beyond your first sentence. This is end of my participation in the thread.
