Not much, unless you really don't like options. ;)

The main rationale is down below, but for the most part, it's just that
you know exactly what unlink does: unlink(argv[1]).
No need to worry about whether someone did something malicious like 
"touch ./'-fr *'", or whether you left an unescaped space before the *, or...
it will only delete one file.
