In powershell, commands may return types different from string and other commands may accept arguments that are not strings. For example, you can pass an array between commands where in bash you just have a string with \n separated values. You may also interact with more complex objects
I once made a script for a monitoring software that takes its input as json, so I built a custom object that had all the data and then called .tojson on it and that was that.
