It's not fetishization; it's an engineering OS.
Windows is a consumer OS, which is terrible for engineering, less centered around CLIs but nevertheless having a few even more cryptic ones tacked on like afterthoughts or a legacy hoarding exercise.
CLIs will always be more powerful than GUIs. They tap into what the OS actually is. The GUI is an illusion.
Windows actually has a very powerful CLI and really nice Terminal app. It's great for software engineering, I use it every day!
...and hence perpetual <5% adoption.
and > 96% in every else in the world
