Not in my experience... and apparently a lot of people that dual boot 🀷.

My main boot partitions are far from the 2TB threshold of MBR, I'm not that rich.

Yeah cause that's the only benefit πŸ™„

I can't see any other really 🀷.

Never wanted more than three partitions?

Actually, it's 4... and on one drive 🀨? No. I've always used a max of 2 on a drive.

With a swap partition and a split home directory, suddenly you don’t have enough partitions to dual boot

Yes you do, you just use subvolumes.
