 That may be inherited from Debian.  vfat is used for /boot/firmware or /
boot/efi for UEFI compatibility.
 fwiw when it's mounted the Pico 2 shows as  vfat.  I assume the Pico does
also but the two I have hooked up are running so don't show as a mount.

The PICO has no filesystem. IN use you hold a button down while powering up and it's Flash presents itself as a USB drive. You copy a special binary file of compiled code onto that 'drive', and it reboots and runs it..
Free flash ram is available for program use as well, but its fairly tricky to use it - its read a sector. erase a block write a block level primitives
In practice, you don't normally do that - most code is simple and uses DRAM.
