Yeah but in that case it isn't nuking the boot files required to boot Windows, it's just clearing the boot entry list and reenabling os-prober and updating grub is enough to fix it. It's like a 1 minute process tops.

Windows is capable of permanently nuking your Linux boot partition, overwriting it entirely and you'd have to boot into a live iso and take several more steps to fix it unless you keep a backup of your boot partition.
