This is a valid point - but I honestly thing it's more hassle than it's worth setting um symlinks in a big script that I want to cater for as many people as possible with as little error as possible.
It HAS been a while since I used a scraper myself - but I haven't had any problems with the default path that the emulation station folder is in - can I ask how you were running the scraper - maybe on CMD or an older version of Powershell? Powershell core tends to treat things much nicer than it's predecessors.
I'm using Skraper from https://www.skraper.net/ which is a Windows GUI App on Windows 10 so I assume it is using an API to access files. I know I can run CMD or Powershell commands individually on my Win 10 install.
Even on windows some programs such as skraper won't look in folders that start with a period. So I suggest that in your script you use mklink /s to symlink ".emulationstation" to "emulationstation". then generate the systems file to point to the "emulationstation" folder.
