They might enhance it by adopting open standards or open source, ensuring full specifications are publicly accessible and stable. Reviewing ExFAT highlights its issues with proprietary extensions, as noted in Wikipedia: it’s designed for SD cards up to 32 GB, but lacks flexibility when third-party modifications are introduced.
NTFS has been developing over time. We're currently using version 5 from XP. Although the release hasn't advanced much, Vista added symbolic links, self-healing, and other enhancements. In newer Windows releases, improvements are limited mostly to general updates rather than new functionalities. The challenge with file system technology is that it requires significant time. You can't afford unreliability. Everything must undergo thorough testing, progress moving slowly. For instance, ReFS isn't yet bootable, and speed only improves when built on a solid foundation. exFAT offers some modern upgrades compared to FAT32 but doesn't bring as many changes.
ExFAT lacks official guidance since it's a proprietary format, and it wasn't designed from the start to be open. Although it's accessible for open source initiatives within the Open Invention Network, Linux hasn't had this feature available yet. This update was introduced in October 2018, meaning there will be a delay before it becomes widely available.
