I’d argue one shouldn’t even be messing with dual booting if they don’t understand much about the bootloader.

The best way to learn how it works is to mess with it. I have reinstalled my Surface Go 2 numerous times because I messed something up. After leaving Windows I have used dual boot with Arch and Chrome OS for a while, and now I just use Arch including secureboot enabled.

My counterpoint would be how does one best learn about anything if not by messing with it

As in tradition - mindset. Getting on Linux requires a certain mindset, and this gets more and more true the weirder and more involved whatever it is that you are planning to do gets.
