I see you've never tried to run command --help | less

Honestly if your help output requires the use of a pager or a text search utility to be useful I question why you didn’t just write a man page in the first place.

I just said that I always do `command --help 2>&1 | less`?

Pretty annoying. Wouldn't it be good if command --help would just display the help?
