I thought the limit was due to intrinsic nature of the FS, but I just looked it up and that limit is 4GB for files. The 32GB limit for the volume is apparently an arbitrary decision made by Dave Plummer 30 years ago, to encourage use of NTFS instead of FAT.
Personally I just use exFAT if I need to format e.g. a USB stick gtr thn 32 that I need on linux / mac / windows.
