Because on FOSS operating systems the most productive workflow is different from proprietary operating systems.
On FOSS OS's there's the Unix philosophy of do 1 thing and do it well, have smaller apps work together with each other, and so on.
On proprietary slave OS's on the other hand you have giant all-in-one environments with no philosophy at all, so they're basically a jack of all trades and a master of none.

Also, I personally prefer zsh over bash.
