How can it be? It's oo. Not saying you're wrong. Honestly curious

Since 1993.
Thanks, this explains:
So the interactive part, the shell itself, is not compliant. That is why I was confused
I am not a greybeard expert with deep bash history, but I though the posix compliant aspect of PowerShell was a very recent, though apparently not perfect, achievement even if "technically" NT was POSIX compliant by some specific definition in 1993.
As far as I understand, these are posix requirements https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18
Powershell is not compliant with that document even now in the interactive part. Wsl2 is, as one can istall a standard Linux shell
bruh
That was Windows NT and was done for C builds so that Microsoft could compete for US government contracts
