| Everywhere exFAT is supported now. Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD would be fine. |

"I can use Linux because if I get stuck I can just switch to Windows and still access my data" is a comfort that probably keeps people from even trying Linux (or other OSes)? Why else would MS not support BTRFS/ZFS/Ext or whatever? {I'm not saying that I think this works.} | | |

Maintenance is a huge burden. Getting them wrong is a liability. Reason enough to only support the bare minimum. And then, 99% of their users don’t care about any of those. NTFS is good enough |

| Something MacOS and Windows support natively would be a good start, it could grow from there. |
