Well in nushell you wouldn't be using the coreutils commands, you'd be using the nushell builtin replacements. Those builtins return structured data.

Now for the 1000 other non-coreutils commands on your system, that's not very helpful. --shell is a good idea, though it seems like JSON is becoming the most common alternative structured output implemented by commands. Nushell and PowerShell can turn JSON into a structured variable easily, though using jq in shell is alright most of the time.
