We have very long memories.
In my defense, an OS that I paid for breaking my boot settings was such a virus thing to do, it was really memorable.
I’ve never ran a dual boot setup but from what I read having windows and Linux on separate physical drives is what makes sure windows won’t Bork the Linux boot partition
Microsoft does different things in different regions and different things in different versions of Windows. Even for the same version in the same region, they may be running an A/B test on you.
(It also may depend on exactly how you’ve set up your bootloader – EFI or MBR, whether it’s on the same physical drive as the Windows partition or not, etc.)
But just because it hasn’t happened to you doesn’t mean that it hasn’t happened to others.

That’s not it, I have both operating system partitions on my Samsung 970 Evo, and they both share a 100MB EFI System Partition, on that same disk.
