Why does Express create a sym link during installation?

Recently I saw that express creates a symbolic link during installation. PoC: Try installing Express on Vagrant . You would get an error to create a symbolic link. To prevent an error, you will need to use the - no-bin-links flag . Question: why is the expression required to create a symbolic link, and if we prevent the creation of symbolic links, does this affect the execution method?
