So it does what is expected from any boot loader. Installing grub does the same.

Which is fine; you should not chainload windows from grub either. Use ntldr for booting windows.

Exactly, you can change the default boot entry in your UEFI settings.

Or after POST, press a button on your keyboard for one-off boot change.

So what was the complain, again? Some people not using UEFI boot manager in a way it is supposed to be used?

Depending on your hardware UEFI boot manager can be a PITA. I have a Dell one where a normal boot to grub/sd-boot takes 5s. But if I want to go to the uefi boot menu for some reason it takes 30+ seconds and from what I can observe, an intermediary reboot. And I end up in some monstrous UEFI GUI with an abysmal mouse cursor behaviour.
