Nothing to do with "cat". If stdin is a file EOF is when all of the file
is read. If stdin is a pipe EOF is when the writer closes the pipe. If
stdin is a terminal EOF is typically ^D at the beginning of a line but
can be changed by stty. There are exceptions, like if non-blocking is
set, but those are the norms.

One can write well structured, modular, reusable code in just about any
language on just about any OS. One can also write complete shinola in
those same languages and systems. Don't blame the tools for how people
use them.
