I asked a maintainer and he said it's just the case that nobody took the
pains yet to implement Emacs in
https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/main/installer/install.iss.

Yes, I agree.
But then, the user has to know about emacsclient(w) AND how to set up
the server beforehand.
I believe it should also work for emacs.exe (which it is) and
runemacs.exe (which is not working, please see the attached image). Or,
even better, suggesting a command line option for emacsclient(w) in case
the server is not running. (Unfortunately I couldn't get emacsclient to
run with a command line option, probably a bug in the Git installer.:-/)
