Is that a practical consideration ? No.

If I had 128 partitions on a GPT disk, it would not
be a problem for them to all be NTFS. I would still
get the usage of the storage device.

And the mount point thing, might not consider Dokan or IFS items.

I used to run EXT2IFS on Windows XP, but that stopped once I
realized how little of EXT the thing understood. I would guess
for the person making it, it was a novelty, because they never
expanded it for later EXT flavors. There are likely to be commercial
offerings today, to do that sort of thing.
