in 2015 jupyter was pretty new, and Sage code,
written by Volker, converted what was there for ipython to jupyter. Maybe he 
remembers why it went this way.
Perhaps "jupyter kernelspec install" was just not available then.

symlinking is flaky across VMs and filesystems. E.g. if you run Jupyter in a 
Windows browser (or in VSCode), with Sage running in WSL, then it seems to me 
one cannot  avoid "jupyter kernelspec install".
Well, yes, it's about 2.3Gb of data, but with the current capacity and cost of 
SSDs it's not something to worry about.
