In a world obsessed with AI and distributed everything, simple problems like "mount this USB drive on every OS without headaches" still feel unsolved. That’s both humbling and oddly comforting.

It's solved, though. The only reason it feels unsolved is because Apple won't document APFS to save their life.

macOS Sequoia refused to mount a FAT32-formatted microSD card from a security camera because the partitioning wasn't compliant or something.

I installed Windows 11 in a VM, and it mounted just fine in there.

Precisely to my point. On OSes that don't arbitrarily filter which filesystem you can use, it is a solved problem.

It only feels like an unsolved problem because some OEMs benefit from the fragmentation.
