Is there a reson to have the standard text not being in line with the UNIX
implementation?
The UNIX link man page states:
The link and unlink commands link and unlink files and
directories. Only super-users can use these commands on
directories.
So the original reason to limit the program to privileged users only applies to
directory operands.
