Does NTFS modify macOS Disk Utility to enable formatting in NTFS?

[pyrrh0]

Disk Utility can format in NTFS just as macOS can access NTFS read-only -- natively. NTFS for Mac is basically only needed for write-access.

My Catalina 10.15.6 does not offer NTFS in either partitioning or formatting; only APFS, Mac OS Extended, FAT, and ExFAT (with the various case and encryption options and such). If *you* have NTFS, then maybe it was added by Paragon's NTFS? I had NTFS as an option for formatting years ago, but then again, I was in a Windows environment with NTFS, and I would have had Paragon or Tuxera MacFUSE back then. And also, it does not make sense that macOS can format in NTFS yet not write to it.
