Looked so backwards to me, too. However, I decided to give it a go, anyway. Now, I have some scripts and small commands which start with a comma, and it looks neat and time saving.
Yes, I can do path ordering to override usual commands. However, having a set of odd-job scripts which start with a comma gives a nice namespacing capability alongside a well narrowed-down tab-completion experience.
While it's not the neatest thing around, it works surprisingly well.
Another idea which looks useless until you start using is text expanders (i.e.: Espanso and TextExpander).
I never knew that what I've known as 'hotstrings' (since the AutoHotKey days) other sometimes also call 'text expanders'.
Love Alfred Snippets for this same text expander need.
The irony in the number of extra commas you've used in this comment...
As a non-native English speaker and writer/typer I'm not well versed in usage of commas unfortunately.
Feel free to add the required ones while reading this comment.
Sorry for the inconvenience this might create.
As a native speaker the original comment seemed completely fine, ignore them. Also, I never would never guessed that you weren't also a native English speaker.

This is an example of the difficulty in expressing tone through text. Meant it as a passing lighthearted observational joke.
No inconvenience at all.
