I stopped reading here. (Not really, I read the rest, but I could have.)
Powershell is a fundamentally new thing that's miles ahead of its competitors. They couldn't have gotten there by just improving cmd incrementally. If the authors confuses boldness with being carefree about maintenance, that's on them.
Step 2. Search for "transgender attack".
Step 3. Take some time to digest the horrible news you're reading.
Step 4. Try to figure out the common thread between these stories. The people in question usually get outed in public during some kind of ID check, and got jumped by some intolerant moron who witnessed it.
This is happening. Today. Including in "North America and Europe". The people who say they feel unsafe because they feel unsafe for their physical integrity and safety. Not because of "awkwardness or very minor psychological discomfort".
Why would you refuse certain characters? My last name contains a dash and one letter with a diacritic. I am beyond tired of playing whack-a-mole trying to guess what rule I violated with my "invalid name."
And fuck companies who have the gall to call my name "invalid" to my face, too. Have some thought before you write an error message. "Contains an invalid character" wouldn't be insulting, for example.
Why on Earth did you think that? Because it's not what the hip frontend devs use?
