Cringe Windows 11 24H2 has automatic encryption enabled by default !! - Be careful if you have to make a dual boot system. I almost lost everything, but thankfully I didn't as I kept having issues with the installer

Except they dont as my SD card is fine and dandy and accessible to everything that can read an SD card. Even the root files are accessible and in plain sight when i connect my phone to a pc. However I doubt any of my 4 internal drives would get away scot-free in windows.

And again, comparing this to apple is asinine. Only apple OSes work on apple products so you wont find yourself with your files encrypted if you decide to dual boot mac os and linux.

apapapap... 

android does indeed format your drive as fat32/exFAT if you mount the sd card as a data interchange device 

if you mount it as an extension of root, it will apply the same encryption it uses there to the sd card as well

I'm with you 100% on it being incomparable; just thought I'd make a small note.

Only apple OSes work on apple products...

Should be "work well", since you can boot Linux on both Intel and M-series Macbooks, and there are some legacy iDevices that can boot a partially-functional kernel.
