Last time I checked, OpenSSH on Windows was a joke. Microsoft is doing a half-hearted job with the Windows port. It typically lags a few versions behind, and they don't even bother to write their own documentation, but instead refer to the man pages of the upstream version. Microsoft uses the same version numbering, for example calling their version OpenSSH 8.2, even if they leave out features at will. For example, the last Windows version I checked completely lacked support for PKCS11 (smart cards). The -I option was not recognized.

Also, if you wanted to use ssh agent, you had to install the SSH server, because ssh agent was bundled with the server package, not the client package, showing a complete lack of understanding of what the role of ssh agent is.
