Depending on their opinion it could be

Because they prefer a fancier shell that isn't bash
Because they prefer their shell scripts to be in standard POSIX Compliant shell language without the bash extensions and features
Most likely answer that bash is pretty good for hacking some stuff together, but not great for larger long term maintainable projects versus other programming languages.

I think it's fun though, and I'm not going to be the one maintaining it 😛
