There was a bug in some tool in our packaging pipeline that resulted in hardlinks not being preserved.  That was fixed, but I decided to leave these as symlinks anyways in case users did a file operation on Xcode.app that didn't preserve hard links.

The point here is that it would probably be nice to have hard vs soft be a configuration option.
