Unfortunately, this only applies to systems that actually have this (i.e. they were updated after exFAT released or released after and included this update). There will be sadly many systems that will never receive this update.
But for a fun fact, if you see many embedded systems that say they can only support an SD card up to 32 GB, it is a soft limitation due to the fact that media over 32 GB are pre-formatted to exFAT (and the system lacks support for exFAT). FAT32 can go up to 2 TB. So I have found that reformatting a larger media back to FAT32 makes it recognizable to that system with all of the storage space.

There might also be the issue of the card reading hardware only supprting SDHC instead of SDXC (or SDUC).
- kop316 6y agoThat is true, though I have yet to run into that issue though for the devices I have tried it on (which admittedly is not a large sample size).
- kasabali 6y agoEven then it is actually only a driver or firmware limitation most of the time. My old laptop has Ricoh SDHC card reader. Windows can't read 64GB SD cards (properly formatted with exFAT according to the standard) on it because it's using the proprietary Ricoh driver. On Linux it works just fine because it's using the generic SD card reader driver which supports SDXC.
- martinald 6y agoFAT32 only supports 4GB files though, so not sure how useful this is for a lot of media usecases.
