Debian is also able to do this after an update, as it disables the os-prober by default. You have to manually re-enable it (prevent it from being disabled).
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.
