You seriously can’t think of another reason? File systems are complex. 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
- StilesCrisis 5mo agoNTFS is dog slow. Unfortunately it's nowhere near good enough.
- tombert 5mo agoIn my mind, in the year 2026, I don't really see the point in using a non-CoW filesystem; it would be nice if the Windows System Restore tool actually worked, and that could be achieved much simpler if there were filesystem-level snapshots.
- garaetjjte 5mo agoI don't think this is necessarily fault of NTFS, but Windows filesystem stack.
