I see that I have misinterpreted the text. Thank you.

You wrote “This also matches how "command" works in other shells as 
well.”. I wanted to note that this is not how it works in Fish, where 
e.g. command cd will try to execute a binary named cd from $PATH. I 
believe this is where my incorrect understanding may have stemmed from. 
Of note, Fish also has the builtin builtin, which is used to run 
builtins shadowed by custom functions, although in the handful of cases 
I tried Fish actually outright prevents defining such functions.

Thanks
Anselm
