You're right, of course. I thought there might be a more sinister
reason: that MS had, somehow, incredibly, managed to keep the inner
workings of NTFS secret all these years.
It's not so much that NTFS is secret, but that by there being no
public specification of NTFS, MS is free to change it in the future in
ways that are compatible with the contents of all existing NT-written
NTFS disks, but incompatible with some Linux-written NTFS disks. It
also makes it harder to work dual-boot systems well.
