Because that is simply how the object returned by the WshShell.Exec method
is designed...

On XP and later, the Win32_Process objects that you can get with an
ExecQuery call have a CommandLine property along with the ProcessId (same as
Handle) and ExecutablePath from pre-XP WMI versions. Note that CommandLine
and Executable path may be Null on some Win32_Process instances.
This is a vbscript example but easy enough to port to jscript...
Set wmi = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/cimv2")
Set processes = wmi.execQuery(_
"select Handle, Caption, CommandLine, ExecutablePath " _
& "from win32_process")
For Each process In processes
with process
wscript.echo .Handle, .Caption, .CommandLine, .ExecutablePath
End with
Next
