javapath/java.exe strips double quotes from command line args

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
When installing Java 16.0.1 at least two java.exe files are installed. On my machine:

1. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.1\bin\java.exe
2. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath\java.exe

And #2 is the one linked to the `java` command on the system.

These two java.exe behave differently with respect to double quoted command line arguments.

#1 Keeps the double quotes
#2 Strips the double quotes


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Here's a reproduction:

    public class PrintArgs {
        public static void main(String [] args) {
            for (String arg: args) {
                System.out.println(arg);
            }
        }
    }

Running this using the installed java (which uses #2 above):

    PS C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.1\bin> java PrintArgs '\"bar\"'
    bar


Running it using #1:

    PS C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.1\bin> .\java.exe PrintArgs '\"bar\"'
    "bar"



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Should print "bar" (with the double quotes intact).
ACTUAL -
Prints bar (double quotes stripped).

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I have found no workaround what so ever. I'd be super happy to know of one.
