The id_{alg}.pub files are ALWAYS (not just on Windows) OpenSSH format (i.e. one line); if you manually make it any other format ssh won't work. -m on a generate or update command affects the privatekey file not the publickey; on export -e (only) it can format the publickey in what OpenSSH incorrectly calls PKCS8 but is in fact X.509/PKIX SPKI and NOT PKCS8. @Ramhound: actually OpenSSH 9.6 now does support PKCS8 for ed25519 privatekey, but this question (1) isn't about ed25519 and (2) isn't about privatekey.
