      Somewhat. One, a system can be bootable without the entries, so even if windows does the stupid and deletes them it isn’t the end of the world. It does depend on your specific firmware though.

      Also two, you can write them again with a single line in efibootmgr.

      This is very different than the old world where windows would delete your bootloader entirely. They live in the efi system partition instead - or at least the shim does- and typically every OS leaves the other ones alone (even Windows, except in this case).
