But just because it is in the EULA doesn't make it legal. At a time where big tech is being kept under a microscope for antitrust regulation, I'd say that an OS that actively destroys other competing OSes on the machine it is installed on should be considered an unfair anti-competitor tactic.

Idk why you think they have to support this. It'd be one thing if it was malicious but I really doubt it is.

Might not hold up legally, but it's still insane that the single largest vendor of operating systems cant figure out how to install a bootloader with playing russian roulette.
