However, I confirmed
https://github.com/latex3/latex3/issues/867

fmtutil-sys --byfmt pdflatex

%
% test.tex
%
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\c_sys_platform_str\par
\sys_if_platform_windows:TF
   { True }
   { False }
\ExplSyntaxOff
\end{document}

pdflatex test
gives

unkown
False

cd $TEXMF-VAR/web2c/pdftex
pdftex -ini -translate-file=cp227.tcx -jobname=pdflatex -progname=pdflatex -etex pdflatex.ini

pdflatex test
gives correctly

windows
True

Thus, fmtutil-sys may be problematic.

Thanks,
Akira
