Rufus does.

You still have to decide what you are doing with different storage devices and partitions, regardless of what OS you are installing. If you have a single storage device and a single OS, it's probably straight forward. If you add more, it gets more complicated. At least with windows, if it's your only OS, the assumption is you will let it handle everything and it's all just nfst. With Linux, it often seems to want to make all sorts of partitions (at least home, root, and swap? Idr since it's been some time), make decisions about file systems and what type of partition. I rather not leave those choices up to default autopartition options, especially when dualbooting.

I'm just using ventoy these days, saving my iso images on the usb key and picking the live image to boot with the menu ventoy kindly provides at boot time

Ventoy is cool. Wish clonezilla didn't have issues with images being in the same device as clonezilla, but that's not ventoy's fault. I still just have a windows boot drive lying around since before ventoy, so I forgot to consider that. Granted, I'm not sure how many people who already have ventoy setup and defaults to using it without looking up guides and l wanted to install W11 on an old device for some reason would find it hard to figure out how to do so.
