To put it simply, installing a dual-boot system is not a solved problem.  I recently had one user who wanted to try out Ubuntu, so he made a dual-boot install and it made his Windows driver unbootable.
GRUB installation target selection may be slightly hidden in the Ubuntu Live ISO but it's certainly there. And AFAIK it works just fine by default. It's no wonder the system broke if the aforementioned user selected to install GRUB into a Windows partition.

If we're on that subject I can say I've also had Windows Update 'break' GRUB numerous times. Apparently changing the UUID of a partition that's not supposed to be even visible to Windows is not beneath them. Luckily it wasn't even my main system as I keep it Windows-free for 5 years now.
