Admittedly this is still possible in a shell script, but it is either messy (folder of helper scripts?) or requires code duplication.

You know shell scripts can have functions right?

And nice stuff like command/options parsing + nice help messages.

Just has pretty ergonomic support for argument parsing [1] and help messages [2]. You're right about functions of course.
