This isn't that uncommon and doesn't seem like a big deal at first thought. I do appreciate the author going over the (unexpected) issues he found related to moving away from the use of ISOs, as I hadn't considered them.
While not the same as a general purpose OS image, all the major audio Linux distributions I've used (Volumio, moOde, piCorePlayer), which are intended for use on Raspberry Pi or other embedded systems, ship this way rather than as ISOs, and support resizing the OS partition to take the rest of the micro SD card for music storage or anything else. A similar approach for an OS on a bootable USB drive seems very reasonable.
Incidentally, the last time I installed an OS from a CD or DVD was Windows 7 in 2016. Everything since then has been a USB stick, a micro SD card, or a micro SD card in a USB card reader.
