Unity Hub opens instead of the Unity Editor when launching a project from a Windows command line if a backslash is added to the end of the project path
Reproduction steps:
1. Open the Windows command prompt
2. Run a command to open a Unity project, including a backslash at the end of the project path
Example: > [Unity_Path]\[version]\Unity.exe -projectPath "G:\project\"
3. Observe the screen
Expected result: The desired Unity project opens
Actual result: The Unity Hub opens
Reproducible with: 2021.3.29f1, 2021.3.38f1, 2022.3.9f1, 2022.3.27f1, 6000.0.1f1
Not reproducible with: 2021.3.28f1, 2022.3.8f1
Reproducible on: Windows 11
Not reproducible on: No other environment tested
Workaround: Run the command without the backslash to open the project
Example: > [Unity_Path]\[version]\Unity.exe -projectPath "G:\project"

Resolution Note:
This behaviour was recently changed; command line arguments containing double quotes and ending in backslash will preserve double quotes. For this reason, we recommend either not adding trailing backslash inside arguments used as directory paths or adding them as double backslash so escaping can be properly done.
We are working on updating the Windows Editor command line options documentation to reflect these changes.
