taskkill /f *forcefully* terminates the process targeted [1]. Isn't
that equivalent to a kill -9? If you headshot a backend process on
Linux with kill -9, an instance won't restart either.

It does. If you want a "gracefull kill" on Windows, you must use "pg_ctl kill" which can send an "emulated term-signal".
