That’s super unkind and incorrect. IE was a trash software that was widely available because MS was trying to extend their monopoly into new areas.
Even if it’s not your taste, bash is a mature, stable FLOSS package with wide community support. The reason it is so common is due to it’s positive attributes, not because there is a plot to make it the only choice available to you.

Bash might be better than IE. But I think we can agree that it is no longer a good shell.
Its syntax is awful, and lacks many features that other shells have.
It is only so widely used because it is a de facto standard. If bash was created today, barely no one would us it.
