What feature would you actually look for in it? What does that api deliver that the new one doesn't?
Because of practical reality, it's simply the case that lots of engineers end up writing shell scripts. Partially because it's much more concise, partially because most people speak "some" of it, which isn't the case for the other alternatives you list.

We implemented a user hostile design, and we should cop to it. Either argue that the price was worth it, or say that in hindsight it was wrong.

I agree that we did, well over 10 years ago. I agree the new one isn't less hostile, and we should provide a less hostile option (actually, we do, in pg_basebackup, but it's also less flexible). But that doesn't mean we should keep around the hostile *and* dangerous option.
