Yes, it seems daft to need two programs with different syntaxes, etc.  It
would be better that one or the other could do both.

Ditto.  I am a programmer with experience of Bash, Java, Javascript, Python,
and (a long time ago now) C/C++ & COBOL, but PERL and Python are ugly
bastards even for the simplest of tasks.  Why (AIUI) Python is the language
of choice for the RPi I have no idea.  I would have thought that Pascal (as
was) or even an improved version of BASIC would have been better.

I simply change to the required directory before giving the command.
