Well, a hardlink is a real inode entry, not a symlink, so things that
look for symlinks will see it as a regular file. Also, fwiw it is very
difficult to find the other links of a hardlink (well, it is also hard
to find what symlinks may exist to any particular target as well, but of
course the other way is easy).

Neither. Unlike symlinks, all hardlinks are equal.
