AndroidOne and ExFAT

I like AndroidOne (the latest vanilla Android release) because it doesn't have all the bullcrap that you get on Samsung etc. phones. Except USB-C, my Nokia 7.1 is close to perfect.

My wife needs something besides FAT-32 to store movies on her microSD card. Because ExFAT is not in Linux, it's not in Android. I guess EXT4 would work? But she doesn't want anything out of the ordinary. While looking to see if the Nokia 7.2 supports ExFAT, I found this:

In late 2019 Microsoft cleared ExFAT for use in the Linux kernel, but it will probably take a long time to trickle down into Android releases.
