The ability to boot Windows on an Intel Mac has been one of their selling points since they switched to Intel processors.  Since both Apple and Microsoft are now making versions of their OS for ARM-based processors, I imagined Apple would still want to allow booting Windows to appeal to those who'd want to do that.  But I guess they could go either way.
