That’s true, but if you set things up so that you’re doing things “the
Windows way” and executing based on the extension, then this actually
would still work.
There’s no requirement that a script have a shebang if it’s called using
the shell command itself.
ie:
bash myscript.sh
Does not (as I recall) require that myscript.sh have a shebang as the
first line.
That said, it is convention to do so, and in general is considered a best
practice.
