That doesn't work on Windows and it isn't portable.
At least with Rust it can be abstracted and made to be portable, to work on other platforms like Windows.
Why learn 3 different commands with slightly non-standard arguments to find and kill a process on different OSes, when you can use one unified command and the arguments work the same as expected?
"Different OSes"? There is only Linux in different tastes and maybe some BSD in some obscure places but no other OSes exist (that are worth to get oneself acquainted with), I am pretty sure of it.

This is why most people (and developers) still use the Windows Desktop and not the thousands of Linux Desktop(s) out there.

macOS exists and it works with that. Rust supports Windows as well so it is certainly possible to port it to Windows. Literally someone asked for Windows. [0]

I'm failing to see the logic here. As a Linux user, trust me there are tons of people out there for which macOS is the only OS that exists or matters. It doesn't prevent people from switching to macOS. Years back that was true of nearly every Windows user as well (only Windows existed). I'm not understanding the causative chain here.
