I see. I don't use Drive via the web/app interfaces much but essentially, hard links are a thing already and users must've inadvertently created them anyway when doing actions via web/app.

Any idea if these hard links can be created with Drive clients on Mac/Win?

They can't. The data model in Drive will no longer support hardlinking, period.
