Now I get your point. But still I would prefer to access my "personal" accounts from a device I trust.
Do you use a cloud service for your files?

Yep. I've been a paying Google Workspace user for almost 20 years now (in the various iterations of the product name).
Some stuff goes in GitHub, none of which I actually truly care about though.
I'm sure you'll groan. :)
But hey, if it's good enough for Cloudflare and Datadog (two past employers), it's good enough for me.
I also may be weird because I don't own any media and I'm perfectly happy with the streaming model. I enjoy not having the mental load of thinking about self-hosting and backing up terabytes of stuff.
I feel "lightweight" and I like it.

Yeah it makes it very easy to be OS-independant. I have backups of my whole home directory so if anything goes awry I can just reinstall software as I go and restore my config files from the most recent backup.
I have a Nextcloud instance for family to store files, though.

If you dual booted but wanted access to your data from either OS, you could easily set up a data drive/ partition that both OSes can access.

Yeah, but presumably that's not acceptable to the person who talks about "(not) caring about the privacy of data you put in windows" in the ancestor comment, which is why I mentioned rebooting.
I also personally keep no data on my devices, but if I did, having data that I need to reboot to get to would be friction I don't want.
