I read somewhere, long ago, that sticks and memory cards were actually
optimized for FAT, by having the pages under the start of the disk
significantly smaller. Ie, optimized for having more writes in the FAT
area.

 Not sure how that’s supposed to benefit the wear-levelling algorithm. The
whole point of wear-levelling is that successive writes to the same
logical sector do not necessarily end up in the same physical location.

Doesn't matter.
sticks and cards do not have wear levelling.
And if they did, smaller write chunks in the FAT area reduces the number of writes per chunk. They would have to consider two areas, though, because of the different write chunk size.
