Hello,

I'm seeing \dt used for "show tables", \l used for "show databases". Why
not standart SQL syntax words? Why specified PostgreSQL commands?
I can't figure out that.

Less characters to type (and remember).  Assuming psql is available is reasonable given the forum.  Also, the output is generally better.
