Windows does, in fact have the ability to pipe console I/O just as

a sample of the latter.) I'm not aware of any Windows terminal
emulators that know how to take input from stdio, but there's
absolutely no reason it couldn't be done -- it's not a Windows
limitation.

"take input from stdio" should read "redirect stdio from another
process" but you get the gist...
