Those of us who use NTFS do so deliberately to provide compatibility
with Windows. It's not that long ago that Linux NTFS support was a bit
flaky, so we don't do it solely by our own choice.
I have a 4GB VeraCrypt file which I open in either Linux or Windows on
my dual-boot netbook. NTFS is the only possible choice.
And no, don't suggest an ext4 implementation on Windows. I want
something solid.
