cryptsetup does have Bitlocker support, so long as you have the recovery key you can unlock and get access to your data, I've tested this.

Bitlocker has nothing to do with Secure Boot.

This is entirely beside the point though, which is to try and make dual boot as useful for users as possible. We want users to be confident about both OS's remain accessible in a discoverable way, without having to jump through hoops.
