Why do I need to expound on it?

The simple answer is that the SDxc standard mandates ExFAT and that's what Jolla need to support. That above all else makes them unsuitable.

I'm sure there are some fantastic, technical marvels that are much better than ExFAT, technically, but we have to always go back to 'the standard' and what 99.9% of people expect of a card with 'SDxc' written on it and what Jolla are allowed to claim.

Also, the irony of suggesting Microsoft's NTFS as an alternative to Microsoft's ExFAT is hilarious.
