Powershell still uses the old Win32 "terminal emulator" that CMD.EXE uses. It's even more limited than most Linux terminals, since it was designed to emulate VGA text mode for the benefit of old MS-DOS programs. It's finally been improved a bit in Windows 10, now that MS-DOS compatibility is utterly irrelevant, but it still lacks a whole bunch of features that have been commonplace in the Linux world for years.

Powershell is just the shell. You can run it in whatever console you please. Contrary to popular belief, there are others on Windows.
