Interestingly apt don't do this, they hardcode sequences as I did.

Maybe they bet those sequences are the same on all terminals since 1970, espacially those marked "DEC Private" and it won't change soon?

I honestly don't know.

Most terminal emulations follow the ANSI terminal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code , so these hard coded escape sequences simply happen to work on most virtual terminals, including windows console (running CMD) and windows terminal.
