Mounting windows drives is a major reason though. Windows still holds majority of the desktop os market. How do you expect them to switch to, or even try Linux if they can’t access their windows files?
No, it emphasises that there’s no reason to use NTFS unless you’re mounting a windows drive, like I said. It does not imply anything about the “nicheness” of the one usecase, although, yes, it in fact is super duper niche. Being niche does not mean unimportant.
Most all linux systems will never see an NTFS formatted partition.
This isn’t an argument against increased compatibility, which is only a good thing.

??? Yeah, that’s exactly what I already said?
Syntactically correct, but the way you phrased it implies that that’s like a super duper niche usecase that no one uses when it really isn’t.
