That has nothing to do with the fact that NFTS wouldn't be safe or anything. (appart from those who believe and claim it is and thus spread this kind of nonsense). It has everything todo with compatibilty. When you have multiple types of OS's, the best thing todo, because of compatibilty reasons, is to make your first boot drive FAT32 (and small) as all PC OS's support this and are capable of booting from this.
