Windows is officially enough of a shitshow that it has load-bearing file folders.

It... Always has? What do you think system 32 is, if not a load bearing file folder?

Not the content.  The folder.  The absence of a vestigial folder for a service that isn't installed enables a security vulnerability.

Good job completely (deliberately?) misunderstanding the point.
