Sure, but such extreme use cases are rare and don't need to be constantly brought up.

Even on larger microcontrollers you often have to write a bootloader...
Ok but most of these use cases don't link to the standard libs anyway, even if you're writing a C program.
Very occasionally I guess. They're almost always bare metal.
You still want a bootloader to support firmware updates, typically in the first 8 kB of flash or something like that.
Good point. I guess don't use `fmt` for that...
