Except that pretty much all cmdline scripts on Windows are either .bat or .ps scripts, which in turn have tons of Window-isms built into them.

If you are using bash on Windows that just tells me that the software you build probably won't be integrated all that well with Windows ;)

(git and other "UNIX-y" tools work mostly fine on cmd.exe btw)

Microsoft (you may have heard of them) seems to disagree: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cli/azure/azure-cli-learn-...

Azure is predominantly running Linux VMs, so that kinda reinforces my point. When targeting Linux, a UNIX shell is obviously the better choice.
