No more boot loader: Please use the kernel instead

My experience when I had a dual boot in the late 90's was that rebooting is such an interruption that you never become fully comfortable on one of the OS. You just stick to the OS you are used to and never really do the switch.

While if don't dual boot you can switch completely to another OS and only use VM or remote desktop for the handful of use cases when you aren't ready yet (and then end ip abandoning them completely as well).

I don't think you got the point.

The experience of using a VM is not good, that's exactly why people are doing dual boot. They know what they are doing.

Keep in mind that booting takes a tiny fraction of the time today that it did in the 90s.

Regardless if it takes 20 seconds or 2 minutes it is still an interruption.
