Couldn't you just take any USB stick and only write a 2GB partition?

Yes. Usually it is a FAT/FAT32/NTFS formatting issue.

Although the most annoying issue is usually related to SD cards. Most SD Cards these days are usually "SDHC" or "SDXC" cards and formatting them to a 2GB partition doesn't actually work.
