Yes.  Presumably, at least some of the Emacs newbies who use it on
Windows started using Emacs because they want to make some sort of
transition to Posix platforms, or need to work on both types of
systems.

ls-lisp worked like it does today for ages (originally, the options
that make it work like native Windows tools did not exist, they are a
relatively recent addition).
