I think the main feature is to use pass with the subcommands.  The fact
that you can leave out the "show" subcommand is just a nice add on but
not the main and most relevant feature about the cli of pass.

Or to say it the other way round:  The show command exists to allow you
to use any password name and tell pass to show it and not confuse it
with one of its subcommands.
