When would you need your shell to be POSIX compliant? I've been using fish for ten years and I've never had an issue, even with scripting. If I need to run a script, it always has bash in the shebang line, so it runs normally. Am I missing something useful?

Other people's scripts in projects where you can't or don't want to edit the scripts to add a shebang line.

You can only run those with `bash script` anyway, your shell doesn't matter in that case.
