Why does msys.bat run /bin/sh for MSys-in-cmd, but /bin/bash for
MSys-in-mintty?

Is there a particular reason to emulate POSIX shell with bash?

I'm asking, because bash in POSIX shell mode does not source ~/.bashrc

I highly doubt that most Windows users know what POSIX mode is, or
care about its features.

Debian runs its login shell in with POSIX mode disabled by default.
