    What if I write a program that checks argv[0] to decide which part of the code to run, and makes a bunch of symlinks

      That’s actually what BusyBox does. You have one executable for everything and it changes the behavior according to argv[0]

      Then that would kind of defeat the purpose

      But it’s not like you /have/ to adhere to the Unix philosophy or anything
