You mean Earth's magnetosphere. If it were within the atmosphere enough to be protected by it, it would never be able to remain in order due to drag.

You mean Pushing Ice, right?
That driver has a serious user-unfriendly limitation: No support for inodes larger than 128 bytes.
This means Linux users can't use GUI tools to format a USB stick (or a harddisk partition for sharing files with Windows) - they must use the command line and figure out how to persuade mkfs.ext2 not to default to 256 byte inodes. And this probably after learning of this limitation the hard way. Easy enough for you and me, but definitely not user friendly.
Also, this still leaves Windows users unable to format as ext2. A crashy driver is not enough.
That brings me to the third problem: I have yet to see a stable IFS (Installable FileSystem) driver for Windows. In my experience, perfectly stable Windows installations start crashing when an IFS driver is installed and in use. I suspect this part of Windows needs more debugging, or the API needs to be better documented, or both.
exFAT may be a patent encumbered extension to a lame filesystem, but the ext2 drivers for Windows are a lousy counter proposal.
