Sorry, but you're incorrect here. PowerShell does most definitely provide job control.

Alternatively, online documentation from Microsoft regarding jobs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsof...

I think you must be unfamiliar with job control, but I could be wrong. How do you Ctrl+Z a foreground job, maybe several, and then switch between them.

All of what “powershell” provides depends on knowing you want to background something ahead of time, and even then I don’t think you can make it the foreground task (maybe wait job comes close) There is even a Github issue on it, which I’m afraid I can’t be bothered to go find again
