It's not just the correct way on windows, it's the correct way on macOS, and any other file system with resource forks or extensible file metadata.

However file metadata is usually pretty poorly understood by most developers (based on a personal sample of my past experiences) and file system resource forks are even less understood...

Perfect is the enemy of good and all that sort of thing ...

I would say it mostly misunderstood by those not raised coding GUI applications for Mac OS, Windows, Atari or Amiga systems.
