curl has always worked fine on windows and did so many years before PowerShell even existed.

This thread shows that Microsoft is dysfunctional.
Whether Powershell was intended to be released for Linux is irrelevant, you do not create programs which intentionally have the same names as well known programs, especially when your programs do not provide exactly the same functionality as the originals. There is no way to view that sort of behavior in a positive light.
Further, the bureaucracy that makes this a lengthy conversation instead of a simple "oops, you're right, let us fix that today" is laughable. "corporate governance" and whatever, good sense has gone out the window.
That is the reason the Microsoft product empire is suffering. The competition does not suffer from these dysfunctions.
