I don't know how Windows users typically manage their systems, but if they
use batch files they can also write a similar loop with the native shell.
(I just tried it.)

My problem with a program that runs a command for all databases is that it
is too rigid:  What if you want to run maintenance only on some databases
(owned by you, big/small, even/odd, starting with 'x')?  --- Cannot use
it, back to the manual approach.
