Windows seems to force you into thinking in terms of sector-level

to abstract away from all that. They do on Linux, but it seems Windows
hasn’t quite caught up to that idea yet.
 

No, you just gotta use your brain. That is all.
 
Who in their right mind, picks the least efficient way to do something ?

Nobody did. They picked the only way that would actually work, and that
was to give up on Windows, and boot up a Linux system to access the same
volumes.

Remember, the Windows way was the least efficient way --- it was so
inefficient, it was looking like it would never complete.
