I don't want this to sound combative, but maybe you should become more comfortable in bash.

Maybe you don't need portability in your code, but maybe you could use more portability of your skills.

Maybe you can assume that ansible will be on every system you admin, but maybe that will definitely reduce your options and it's possible you don't even know what benefits you are trading by not having the depth.

It's all a big maybe, but maybe some of those people made good trades for the problems they encountered.
