Personal computers and flagship phones? Yeah you can probably use exFAT.

Video game consoles and handhelds? Dashcams? Car entertainment centers? Cheap android devices? 100% going to be FAT32 partitioned with a Master Boot Record

Low end motherboard BIOS flashing

I just flashed my mobo last night and it wanted a fat32 fs. It’s not low-end at all.

You think high end motherboards are going to flash from XFS?

[–] Dhs92@programming.dev 2 points 2 months ago

I've seen a few that can read ExFAT

Yup, I had to download a program to format my 64Gb micro SD card for my 3ds last year.
