Yeah, the issue is that there are no utilities for manipulating OsStrings, like for splitting, regex matching, or formatting OsStrings/Paths.
For instance the popular `fd` utility can't actually see files containing malformed utf-8, so you can hide files from system administrators naively using those tools by just adding invalid utf-8.
touch $'example\xff.txt'
fd 'example.*txt' // not found
fd -F $'example\xff.txt' // fails non-utf8
The existing rust libraries for manipulating OsString push people towards ignorance or rejection of non-utf8 filenames and paths.
