I have a very high burden for how GUI installers and desktop environments behave. I don't care about expert users. The expert users are happy to be left alone and hopefully not have things silently break on them. But regular users need more attention. Breaking their installations isn't fair. So maybe dual boot/multiboot is just too complicated for normal users and it's not possible right now to design something safe for them? And if so, that's fine, then the installer should deny dual boot installations with pre-existing Linux when using the default-automatic partitioning and installation path. Only allow it for custom installations.
Agreed, dual Linux booting is complicated. Dual, meaning, one Linux, one Windows, is quite a common thing: most people coming from Windows will want this, so it must be handled. Two Linux is the next step, but how to do it should be an informed decision by the "admin". Not exactly automated. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
