Also MFT can also grow in size if you exceed the current allocated size. Depending on your version of windows that growth rate is different. Also once the MFT grows it will not shrink. The tools for MFT cleanup are rather poor. With the usual recommendation of 'just format a new drive and start over'.

Apple finally managed to switch its file system and escape the pains of late 80s technology. When will Microsoft replace NTFS?

In theory ReFS is the replacement. It hasn’t seen large uptake though.
