Why yes, I would in fact like to write a file bigger than 4GB in 2025. Com'on flash drive manufacturers, get your shit together and format in exFAT already -_-

Recently tried to make a printer scan a file to an exFAT formatted thumb drive, didn't go well. Then tried moving a file from a windows to a linux machine using another exFAT formatted thumb drive, still no luck lol.

I get the impression that ext4 is more widely supported than exFAT.

Lol nah, exFAT is the only current FS (other than fat32) capable of being read AND written to by Linux, MacOS and Windows out of the box

It certainly should be. And as we're on it, Mainboards should support it too. It's a pain to create special partitions, and sometimes even use MBR instead of GPT, just for a BIOS update.

I pushed a friend to format an external hard drive with exFAT and not Apple's filesystem for compability, but something with the M2 MacBook eventually messed up the filesystem and it couldn't read it. Troubleshooting and reading forums, found there's something with the new Macs and exFAT. Ended up having to use an x86 apple device to recover the data.
