They do dynamicaly expand. It's not growing that's the problem though, it's shrinking - releasing space so that it can be used by another user.
I feel like shrinking is a thing for many file systems. The utility to shrink may not be included with the OS and need to be installed or even come from a 3rd party.
Not all file systems can be expanded much less shrunk while mounted. Many of the ones that I've worked with need to be unmounted to do such actions.
Usually, such actions also require the support of some sort of resizable container to put the file system in. This is often Logical Volume Manager on Linux (across platforms).
