Although PowerShell borrows the syntax, it (as usual!) completely screws up the semantics. The examples in the docs [1] show first setting descriptor 2 to descriptor 1 and then setting descriptor 1 to a newly opened file, which of course is backwards and doesn't give the intended result in Unix; e.g. their example 1:

  dir C:\, fakepath 2>&1 > .\dir.log

Also, according to the same docs, the operators "now preserve the byte-stream data when redirecting output from a native command" starting with PowerShell 7.4, i.e. they presumably corrupted data in all previous versions, including version 5.1 that is still bundled with Windows. And it apparently still does so, mysteriously, "when redirecting stderr output to stdout".
