grsync (rsync) usage question

One of the "advanced" options in Grsync (gui for rsync) is to "copy
symlinks as symlinks", which is apparently not the default. Well, why
not?  Shouldn't that be the default?

When backing up, when would one NOT want to "copy symlinks as
symlinks" (rather than the file a symlink "points to" instead)?
