And moreover, a script is always preferred than a binary

Well, if you are careful to link your binary staticly, then all the
necessary library code will be incorporated into the executable, and it
can then run on any Linux system that supports ELF binaries, and that
means almost any Linux running today. Of course, the executable will be
relatively much larger.
Why is a shell script _always_ to be preferred over a binary?
