Agreed.

Spending time generating aliases for commonly used commands and scripting commands together to form new (possibly more comfortable) command-wording are both fine once you use the product enough to learn which aliases and scripts would be productive.

Providing a set of these alternatives as a wrapper is a dangerous alternative to newcomers, and has the potential to simply add confusion.

I think these efforts must come after foundational product knowledge is achieved, not before. This effort seems to target those who do not yet have said knowledge.
