There are automation tools that are much better suited for that then pure shell. Kickstart for anaconda based installers, preseed for debian installer etc. Or configuration management tools.

- All require installing something so why not use this script to automate the installation and execution of those tools?

  Kickstart and preseed do not require installing anything. These are features of distro installers. Such configuration management tools as ansible also do nat require installing agent on a target machine (only python is needed, but it is usually installed by default).
