That's "POSIX is all there is" myopia, right there. While recent versions of Windows have symlinks more like POSIX symlinks, XP only has a stunted version called "reparse points" or "junction points" which are not really fit for purpose. I think you'll find that XP environments are found in rather more than "a tiny number of cases", and even though Microsoft has end-of-lifed XP in terms of support, I fear it'll be around for a while yet.
