Bootcamp is a joke. Every Intel Mac runs a complete EFI impl based on the stock Intel one, and can just boot Windows without Bootcamp.
Also the only way to install using GPT, as Bootcamp's bootloader hides the GPT header (and OSX uses 2 out of the 4 MBR partition slots) and forces Window to use "legacy single partition mode", which means no Bitlockering C:\ as the EFI boot partition (required since Vista, no matter if it is a EFI/GPT or Legacy Bios/MBR machine) is where ntldr lives now (same way in the MBR days you had /boot on a different unecrypted partition, so you can boot linux, load the initrd, and then unlock the root partition); Windows uses 3 partitions, EFI boot, C:\, and the recovery partition.
Once I realized that, I blanked the entire disk, and purged OSX forever. I made that decision 10 years ago (the MBPr is still alive!), and I never looked back.
