I mean it creates an EFI partition unless you have one, a recovery partition, and a… whatever the fuck an MSR partition is. It stands for Microsoft Reserved I believe, and should be 16 MB nowadays.
And then there’s the one partition that your OS goes on, the C:\ partition.
I mean you still have a separate EFI partition under Linux. Personally I also have a separate /home partition which is heavily recommended in case you nuke your Linux either on purpose or accidentally. You may also want to create other partitions, like swap, though I just have a swapfile.
Is the an installer that only creates only one partition, no EFI system partition?
That you have to manually specify partitions in Windows?
You literally don’t have to create a single one, only point it at empty space or a partition you’re willing to have it delete for space. It handles the rest. Does it matter how many partitions it creates?
Did you install that Ubuntu on a legacy BIOS system or maybe one with an existing EFI partition? Because I can’t see how you could have a modern OS without at least two partitions.

which is so much better and intuitive than Linux installer creating exactly one partition, right?

Yup, last time I installed Ubuntu it was that, one partition. So now, what has @henfredemars got “not right”?

The point was that you have to manually remove them, not create
Or maybe I missed the EFI partition when run gparted after installation, it being much smaller than rest of the drive
