How would it be any different to the various FAT filesystems it supports now?

That is fair, I confused support with making windows run on them rather than being able to just read and write to them.

That is my mistake.

Very interesting, thank you for sharing, I thought NTFS was so ingrained in Windows that it could bot run on anything else.
