We have imitations of them

before you bring up UE4,
it doesn't actually have those,
let me start with reflections
the so called "Reflections" are screen space

meaning that all they actually do is take the frame you are viewing and flipping it vertically
and unless you failed 8th grade you'd know that that is not how reflections work irl

and as for GI
it's not really GI
It's real time Radiosity

it's only really good for the candles in Metro 2033,the windows in the arch viz demos, the flames in the unreal flat* demo,etc

but you can't light an entire scene with it unless it's an exterior scene,
because light doesn't have to bounce as much.
but for interior scenes it would look horrid unless ofcourse you bake it

(here is a video describing what baking is, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sB09T--_ZvU)

I'd say something about the Sims 3 mirrors but they probably aren't entirely accurate

Sims 3 mirrors work by duplicating the sim to another plane and mirroring them.

again,
not how reflections work.

My mirrors don't, oddly.
