The Powershell interpreter is made for the Powershell ISE. They just can't touch the CMD interpreter for the same reasons you found, Someone depends on that awful for console apps and god knows what. So all the work went into the ISE instead of fixing CMD. Powershell console and cmd run powershell are just compatibility layers to make it more familiar.
