Mainly for compatibility reasons. If Windows does it that way, so would do Windows apps and drivers, depending on it. If we change this default behaviour, even with introducing some kind of aliases for the previous one, we risk breakage, that would could be hard to determine/locate. When ReactOS gets stable enough, i see no obstacle to change this, but right now, let us not put too many mushrooms into single basket.

Well, that's a valid argument.

WINDOWS still does it the wrong way.
Then why should ReactOS do it right ..  ;-)
