Because NTFS reparse points do not behave like Unix symlinks to most
programs on Windows. Try making a reparse point that links to your
%SYSTEMROOT% directory, then try deleting that reparse point in Explorer
and see what happens.
Actually, I suggest _not_ deleting such a reparse point if you have
administrator privileges on your machine!
