a) the PEP makes no point about platform-independence.
   it is a pure Windows thing, and has no stated objective
   to being platform-independent. So loss of platform-independence
   may not be deliberate, but is certainly acceptable.
b) platform-independence is not lost as the launcher would continue
   to support /usr/bin-based paths. So platform-independence would
   be an opt-in feature, at the choice of script authors.

Martin
