Or only booting to the other OS.

Many laptop users have docking stations with external  input devices.
Users with RSI
may require  input devices that use vendor-specific drivers.

At work we migrated from SGI IRIX64 to Apple because IRIX64 had Photoshop
and  color
management.  At the time, the same image looked very different using
Photoshop in different
Windows boxes, but Apple systems were consistent.  The Apple systems booted
straight into
macOS unless you used the keyboard to get a list of boot options where you
could select
Linux.
