The commands used in Linux are based on UNIX, which was around long before DOS and OS/2.  It jus so happens that a lot of people who started with IBM-compatible PCs in the 80s and later would have used DOS and/or OS/2 because those were what were commonly available for those computers at the time.  I feel like Linux is even more of a standard than DOS or OS/2 because it's rooted in the earlier traditions of UNIX.
