I'm not a Windows user, so I'm not familiar with it. And "just move to Windows" isn't exactly the kind of solution I was hoping for, if I'm being honest. Some day someone in the vast Linux/Unix ecosystem hopefully sees this problem too and does something about it, but it's a controversial idea at this point.

Pipes survived for many years for a reason (though they are broken on Windows -- it is hard to pipe data as is without corrupting it). SOAP, WSDL have taught us already that more "structure" does not mean better. Binary interfaces such as provided by systemd or http/2 may teach us again the importance of simplicity, human-readability and avoiding too frigid constraints failing in the face of natural evolution between different software versions.
