Azure DevOps CLI is an extension on top of Azure CLI and it's cross platform as well. Why we need to use Azure DevOps CLI as we already have REST APIs available to interact with Azure DevOps.
 

Live Interaction

You already using Azure CLI to connect to your azure subscription and also to run your GIT commands etc..so without getting out of that context you can interact with Azure DevOps under that subscription. So it's a live interaction with your Azure and Azure DevOps Pipelines in a same command prompt window.
