For me the issue is more that software like version control systems and archiver utitlities that need to understand and create symlinks, might just continue to not support symlinks on Windows. When the software is running as an unprivileged user, it will still fail be able to create symlinks by default, which doesn't make the feature very enticing to add and support for the developers of the software. Git has been in that category, I don't know if this is enough to trigger a change or not. Here's hoping...
