    Am I overlooking other cases?

There are many interfaces where trailing slash is significant.  For
example, rsync uses trailing slash on the target directory to avoid
creating an additional directory level at the destination.  Loosing it
when passing path strings through pathlib.Path() may be a source of bugs.

pathlib is generally concerned with filesystem operations written in Python, not arbitrary third-party tools. Also it is probably easy to append the trailing slash in your command-line invocation, if so desired.

Antoine.
