To be fair on this default windows drive formatting is not well suited to many small files in general.
Unrealengine taking 40 extra gigs because of underutilization on small files is one rampant case.
Large python project disk ballooning is another.
That it's file copy move is also dramatically bad at handling such scenarios compounds this further as can be seen by shuffling the same lot with teracopy vs explorer and windows default behavior irrespective of drive formatting. Can easily be hours of difference.

How is that fairer? :P They set the defaults, they could change it, yet they don't. Seems entirely fair to point out shitty defaults as faults of their OS, regardless of how that came to be.
