For some context, the reason why this is getting some attention is (probably) this: Windows is getting its own Package Manager and it's based on UWP and thus this issue appears for everybody trying out WinGet + Cygwin (or Git for Windows etc). Issue on their side: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/228 This is truly a pretty weird feature of Windows/NTFS where there was not much reason to support it before, but with WinGet this will become a much requested feature on no time.
