Mystery solved, ls works for me due to this:
https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases
which is a toolset that was installed by an emulator package somewhere along the line, I just didn't know it was there.

Ok, getting past the dickish, completely unhelpful first part of your reply (as you can see in the comments, not EVERYONE was saying that), the second part helped me trace it back to this:
https://github.com/devkitPro/installer/releases
which is a toolset that I never intentionally installed, and was evidently added by an emulator package without me knowing where it was or what it did.
So thank you for (eventually) helping me find what it was, and now you and others know how to add it to cmd and don't have to complain about its absence.
Lately I’ve been using it as a simple way to drag and drop a source .tar.xz archive on a .bat file so it can be twice extracted, moved, renamed, have dependencies downloaded by git, run a cmake process, do a visual studio compile, then move the result release directory back to where the .bat file is while removing unneeded files and adding new ones.
cmd and batch still has its uses.
If I do “ls /?” it returns no such file or directory, but just “ls” performs exactly as you’d expect. I haven’t installed anything to provide that function that I know of. It never occurred to me that I would have to because as far as I know it’s always worked. Until today I just assumed it had become a standard command and never investigated. Was just happy I could use the same command in cmd and on my Pi box.
I'm still confused.
ok boomer?
I literally just typed it into cmd.exe on Windows 10, fully updated, and it absolutely did work. No idea why it doesn’t work for you.

Woke up one morning at summer camp with a rattlesnake curled up on my sleeping bag. I did not move until late afternoon.
Turned around on a hiking trail to see a large tusked boar a few feet away staring me down and huffing at me. All the trees around me too small or too big to climb. I backed away reeeeeeally slow and it went the other way.
Got ejected from and then trapped underneath a 12-person whitewater raft that was also stuck on rocks in a shallow section between rapids. I don’t know how I ended up back in the raft, I just remember silently saying goodbye to the world and blacking out. Then went down the same river again the next day, cause apparently I killed some brain cells the first time.
