I work pretty frequently with PS and have no issues with syntax. It's easy to read and you always have autocomplete so there is just 1 extra click to get from -r to -Recurse. Same command could be also written as this due to alias feature.

rm 'C:' -r -fo

It's just not the best practice since in PowerShell it is recommended to not use aliases for readability reasons. Also less chance to mess things up due to how verbose all commands and their parameters are.

Thanks for the info! Is a correct assumption that this is a "yes", to my question?

It is. Besides some very niche bugs everything in the core of PowerShell seems logical to me and easy to understand.
