That's a subtle distinction. The fact is that developers seem to spend quite a bit of time talking to the shell, finding files, moving files, seeing what's running, boring housekeeping kind of stuff, and every difference, at this level, between operating systems A and B is a pure tax on my productivity with exactly zero benefit. When I first log into a system, I want the commands I'm used to available and I don't want to spend ONE MICROSECOND thinking about $PATH or tar options, I invested that time years ago and I have better things to do. So Indiana needs to make this pain go away.
