The device trust web flow can result in a web browser launching Teleport Connect (which launches tsh, which in turn launches powershell). Some antivirus solutions flag cases where a powershell process is a descendent of a web browser process. In order to avoid being blocked by the antivirus software, we want to read system information directly instead of via powershell.
