Wrong. Windows *itself* doesn't care - lots of applications just don't
specify FILE_SHARE_WRITE:

"An application also uses CreateFile to specify whether it wants to
share the file for reading, writing, both, or neither. This is known as
the sharing mode. An open file that is not shared (dwShareMode set to
zero) cannot be opened again, either by the application that opened it
or by another application, until its handle has been closed. This is
also referred to as exclusive access." from
