Win32 console is unfortunately a thing. Not anymore, but was a thing for too long.
And PC/3270. Some very powerful systems like Linux on IBM Z are POSIX and your default "interactive login" choice is PC/3270.
And in the long term, isn't this exactly the problem? Do we really want to perpetuate the status-quo of "I am in a somewhat POSIX environment, so the STDOUT/STDERR if interactive must behave exactly like xterm and if not I will just pretend it is xterm anyways and output garbage."?
