Comment FAT32 Gaslighting (Score 3, Informative) 20
The limit of the filesystem was always 2TB, but Microsoft had this artificial 32GB limit in their built-in format tool. You could easily format a larger FAT32 partition using third-party or Linux-based tools.
I think this was an artificial limit kept in place to ensure exFAT adoption, specifically to ensure manufacturers paid their licenses.
Of course, there is still the 4GB file size limit to contend with, but I've never had a problem using a 256GB FAT32 partition on older devices, for example.
