This time limit the number of files per command to avoid exceeding limitations of certain OS/shell envs. Such known env is Windows with the `cmd.exe` shell, which features an 8K command-line length limit to this day. Allowlisting `UNIX` to have no limit and using a limit of 200 for other envs to be safe. If there is a way to detect `cmd.exe` and/or we know which precise envs are sensitive to this, we can tweak these conditions further. Even with the low limit, this patch reduces external commands by 200x, making builds much faster.
