Would be interesting to see if they can allow dual boots natively

I never liked dual boot. To messy. I always install Linux first, on a separate drive, then Windows. Boot is default for Win drive, and Windows has no clue Linux drive exists. When i need to go to Linux i just hit F11, choose to boot from Linux drive. Nice, clean, simple.

I prefer to use GRUB but still try to keep separate drives.

EFISTUB for boot is so nice.

I dual boot with grub but have separate boot partitions to stop windows breaking things

Windows does play nice with EFI System Partition, but you need to use GPT partitioning. Also, the default size Windows uses for ESP is 100Mb iirc so it can get a bit cramped.
