Even windows itself creates environment variables inaccessible through CMD.
Still, they are available to running programs.
On another edge, TC(ex. 4NT) shell support variables that not actually
environmental, rather - status variables related to current shell state or
recently happened events.
There's no logic, just usefulness.
