Yeah, if you're going to exclude the common use cases, obviously it's going to be rare. (:

People still use local storage.

(I'd also like native ext4 support in Windows.)

Yeah, but when I boot Windows for gaming, I don't care about sharing data with Linux.

And given the availability of cloud storage, I can just upload whatever little I need to share.

Not all dual boot systems are "main OS" plus "wintendo." Quite a lot of the ones I encounter on personal machines are, certainly, but people doing actual dev stuff on both is still a use case.
