That's not my impression. The only good argument I could identify in
YOUR answers is the strong (personal) dislike of native 4k sectors used
with a smaller transfer size. But the whole system programing domain has
tons of similar situations.

Why don't you object to 32bit/64bit PCs? They work with small transfer
bytes (bytes) but they native WORD size is a lot bigger nowadays. How
dare they to do a such thing?

Maybe you should consider throwing your PC away right now and buy a
modern 8088 XT system from some garage sale.
