There was a problem hiding this comment.
Minor comment: to detect if the OS is macOS, we use the PHP_OS constant as follows: 'Darwin' === PHP_OS But for Windows, we always use this indirect detection: '\\' === DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR

Php's symlink function on Windows is completely broken, see:
php/php-src#1243
https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69473
Looks like there is little to no intention to fix this in core. An alternative way to achieve symlinks (properly) on Windows is to use the command line.
I submitted a similar PR for the composer/composer project, where they use symfony's filesystem + a manual junction based fallback for windows:
composer/composer#6213
This patch adds additional fallback to try and create the symlink on windows environments using exec()
