If you think about it, why would there be code to do this, SID's are Windows things and until fairly recently, there was no reason for a Unix computer to be a user, in fact, is there a reason now, do GPO's require this ?

Yes. For access to sysvol a computer needs a uid. A DC does this even if the computer does not have a uid set (AD ID backend).
