Seems Microsoft is bringing back the option for ordinary Windows users
to format volumes as ReFS

This filesystem made its first appearance years ago, but then
Microsoft began removing the option for using it from various
non-“Enterprise” versions of Windows where it had been introduced.
NTFS is certainly showing its age. But it’s not clear that ReFS is
really enough to take Windows forward. It seems a bit lacklustre
compared to the options that have long been available on Linux, for
example.
