That's just silly, so I won't even bother replying.

True. But once your symlink is in place, it is stored on disk in the
postgres data directory. An environment variable is a transient setting
in memory, which means that you have to have a program set it, and you
have to make sure that program gets run before any startup, be it an
automated startup from /etc/rc on boot or a manual startup.
