Avoids echo failing due to the same ARG_MAX limit that prompted response files to be used with the linker.
I presume this is only a fix for a hypothetical issue, _if_ echo would be a native windows executable and not the msys2/cygwin one which bypasses the limit?

Does this instance even work, it looks broken, like it is missing something?

Wouldn't this be quite significantly slow on msys2, where process creation is much slower than on unix? I think it's not worth to make things that much slower (which I only guess here) to fix a hypothetical issue.
