Bash can do that too. It's just stupidly disabled by default.

From fish design document:
"A special note on the evils of configurability is the long list of very
useful features found in some shells, that are not turned on by default.
Both zsh and bash support command specific completions, but no such
completions are shipped with bash by default, and they are turned off by
default in zsh. Other features that zsh support that are disabled by
default include tab-completion of strings containing wildcards, a sane
completion pager and a history file."
