Yes, this is by design. The occasional difference between slash-ended and non-slash-ended paths is unexpected and potentially confusing. Moreover, it's not a property of the OS itself - it's just some syntactic sugar to enable an option such as resolving symlinks. pathlib paths represent filesystem paths, not arbitrary shell arguments.

Similarly, pathlib doesn't have special processing for "~someuser" parts.

(as for URL paths, they are not part of the design space of pathlib)
