Does it make sense to use the local entries (Unix domain socket) of pg_hba.conf in Windows?

I have a rather simple question.

As stated in the pg_hba.conf file in the postgres data directory:

# DO NOT DISABLE!
# If you change this first entry you will need to make sure that the
# database superuser can access the database using some other method.
# Noninteractive access to all databases is required during automatic
# maintenance (custom daily cronjobs, replication, and similar tasks).
#
# Database administrative login by Unix domain socket 
local   all             postgres                                peer
...
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only

This makes sense on Linux in order to be able to use $ sudo -u postgres psql to directly login to the database without being actually prompted for a password for the postgres user of the operating system (which is created when installing postgresql on Linux).

So, by definition, I guess “Unix domain sockets” don’t exist on Windows.

And I can obviously not do: $ sudo -u postgres on Windows.

Hence my question: does it even make sense for these lines to exist on a Windows machine or could I just comment these local entries out?

Or does a similar login mechanism exist (e.g. not being prompted for a password for the logged Windows user)?
