No, it looks fair.
MS-DOS 1.x did not have subdirectories.
That came in with MS-DOS 2.x which is when the very rudimentary level of Xenix compatibility came in: device names such as `LPT1:` or `COM2:` could be prefixed as `/dev/lpt1` or `/dev/com2`. Pipes simulated in COMMAND.COM.
I don't recall DOS ever accepting command switches prefixed with `-` instead of `\` as standard, though.
