Please enlighten me. I have only been a maintainer of Anaconda for the past 4 years, so I may not know everything there is to know. I do know a bit about Anaconda Prompt, though. I created it. It is a wrapper that launches cmd.exe and immediately runs conda activate. What other REPL might you be talking about?
Perhaps you are thinking about spawning terminals from Navigator? These are your default system shells with similar wrappers to activate a particular environment.
Again, Navigator is not Anaconda. It is an application within an Anaconda installation. You may find this blog post interesting: https://www.anaconda.com/whats-in-a-name-clarifying-the-anaconda-metapackage/
