Why require ps -W and kill -f

[Don Beusee]

ps -e on Unix displays “every process running on the system”.  This command
doesn't do that under cygwin.  Why should it be necessary to supply -W to
see all processes running on the system?  This makes it incompatible with
Linux/Unix, and such scripts that rely on -e doing this will not work the
same on Cygwin.  What is the point to not showing all other processes on the
system like Linux/Unix does?  This is a silly design and causes headaches
and frustration for people trying to write scripts that work on cygwin and
Linux/Unix. Can this be changed please?
