That's a good example of how a small design decision at the
bottom propagates up.  The Unix kernel passes argc/argv as
structured data, so every layer above can work with clean
boundaries.  MS-DOS passes a flat string, so every layer above
has to re-parse it, and every layer parses it slightly
differently.

The three Microsoft docs you linked probably aren't equivalent,
which is the whole problem.  When there's no canonical parse,
every program becomes its own parser, and the seams between
them become injection surfaces.  Half the security history of
Windows is about those seams.

Though Unix isn't perfectly clean either.  Filenames can
contain anything except / and NUL, which means shell scripts
that don't quote properly break on spaces and glob characters.
The argv array is clean at the kernel level but the shell
re-introduces the flat-string problem.  The structured data
is there; we just keep choosing to go through a parser anyway.
