> Powershell pipes are an extension over Unix pipes. Rather than just being able to pipe a stream of bytes, powershell can pipe a stream of objects.
Unix pipes can pipe objects, binary data, text, json encoded data, etc.
The problem is it adds a lot of complication and simply doesn't offer much in practice, so text is still widely used and binary data in a few specific cases.
