But, when booting to Windows, you only get a single read-only mount point:

that would be a limitation of windows, and in this case, user error.

It's extremely rare for you, nopsam, to ever guess correctly, but in this
case, you're actually closer to the truth than you can possibly imagine.

When dual booting to Linux, with both a typical unrooted iOS and Android
device connected by USB to the typical desktop, Linux has no problem seeing
the entire visible file system of all four devices (only 3 of which are
booted):
1. Linux entire visible file system (no limits)
2. Windows entire visible file system (no limits)
3. Android entire visible file system (only limited slightly)
4. iOS entire visible file system (which is severely limited even so)

When dual booted to Windows 10, under those same circumstances, Windows
sees far less.

Windows doesn't see the Linux file system.
And Windows sees even less of the highly restricted iOS file system.

As is always the case - anyone on iOS is extremely limited in what they can
do compared to what they can do on Android - since the entire visible file
system on Android is read/write available to both Linux and Windows.

The iOS file system is for people who clearly give up a lot to have it.

Not the least of what iOS users have to give up is their hard-earned money,
where it's been proven that a comparable hardware Android device like the
$130 8-core LG Stylo 3 Plus is FIVE TIMES LESS EXPENSIVE than a far-less
functional five-times-more expensive iOS device such as the overpriced
4-core Apple iPhone 7 Plus (actually only 3 cores which will be
automatically halved in speed in about 1 year).

In addition, as you're aware, it's been proven many times that the app
functionality alone on any modern Android device is so vastly
overwhelmingly more powerful than that of iOS that it's not funny.

*To own iOS, is to give up ... a lot.*
