Right, thanks. According to https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/unlink.html:
Upon successful completion, unlink() shall mark for update the last data
modification and last file status change timestamps of the parent
directory. Also, if the file's link count is not 0, the last file status
change timestamp of the file shall be marked for update.
