Obviously if Microsoft or Apple recreated apt-get and made it work for windows/osx down to the last command line option, then you would be admiring them for the great "Innovation" ......
Actually the GNU counterparts of the unix userland tools have more often than not a different set of command line options, and usually extra functionality (if only because they can afford updating more often).
