It should be a huge embarrasment to the designers. They survive on low
price and unique features. It would be quite amazing to have a CLI without

That ship sailed years ago. Even though the legal precedent was set after
Cisco vs Arista that CLI elements that are of common , standard usage
aren't copyrightable, nobody wants to take the risk. So they come up with
other ways that tend to be not good.
