Output of ls in PS is an Array of objects (DirectoryInfo or FileInfo instances). How is that merely an attempt?

While PS-native stuff yield objects, not all pre-PS utilities/builtins are overriden or have interface for PS and output old fashioned text blob, which is not automagically parsed in any way by PS. My comment was system-level, not utility-level.
