It’s a nit to be sure. Microsoft’s insistence on PowerShell nowhere and never is beyond mystifying. Apple at least wraps it’s XNU in “standard” libs + shells. WSL is a pile of flaming trash, a footnote to an afterthought.
With MacOS, Terminal is x-term’ish, shell is zsh, and ls is ls OOTB. It’s easy to see why people get confused.
With Windows, there is no terminal, Powershell is an alien quagmire, and ls is Get-ChildItem. It’s easy to see why people get confused :)
