in thread Re-Creating a file does not change inode modification time (Windows)
Usually it's access time/atime that gets disabled, not mtime. Access might be read-only, so updating atime introduces write i/o to the FS. Modifications are by definition write i/o, so it's cost effective to update mtime also.
