You also can't create folders named lpt1, lp2. There are a bunch of folder names that are illegal. Reason being is that 'con' is the older DOS file name for console, so sending output to the con file prints lines in DOS. Having a folder with the same name is confusing.

yes it's not possible to create the folder having a name as "CON"
because it refers to the windows console

"CON" is command an hence when ever it typed the pc interpret it as a command. copy con is used in ms dos to store a file in desired location. it is an heritage to our windows from dos!
