This is purely an educated guess... it possibly matters whether you have a SHELL environment variable set. If you do and it's set to bash or sh or csh, I think that this will work correctly. If it's not set, you'll get the Windows shell: cmd.exe - I don't think that it will grok &&.

I see now that it works in Linux, but not windows. I'm guessing this
is a bug, but feedback is welcome...
There is not `ls` command on Windows (unless you install cygwin /
mingw yourself). You're looking for `dir`.
In this case, I have one:
$ whichr ls
higher in the list is executed first
C:\installs\devkit451\devkit451\bin\ls.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\ls.exe
But it seems you can substitute any executable name in there to get
the offending behavior...

Yes, I was surprised to learn that, at least with windows OS's I've
tried, cmd.exe *does* understand &&. I'll be honest it surprised me

Indeed, cmd.exe sometimes surprises us in a good way
