I never use ls outside some sh like shell.

Yes, sometimes. On the other hand I think that the necessary integration
with different platforms must not be hampered by the consistent
cross-platform behaviour. I am much in favor of both these things.
Since Emacs started its route much have changed. The users on different
platforms now tend to request that applications adhere to what they are
used to. After that it is fine to add new features and behaviour. So
integration and cross-platform behaviour need not collide, but
integration must not be overseen.
On w32 users are used to that applications can be run out of the box and
that they behave in a well known manner. That is one of the strengths of
w32. It is both on surface level and on deeper levels.
