According to POSIX, /ls/ is a program to list directory
contents; and /dir/ doesn't exist.

Yes, one BIG difference. ls is a POSIX command. dir is nothing.

There's no official dir command in POSIX. A lot of Linux distributions
and the like make dir an alias for ls in their shell profiles. You can
verify this is probably what's happening by typing:
which dir
