I know linux doesn't care - has never cared, but historically you did
NOT have partition tables on removable media. Floppy disks didn't have
partition tables. I'm not aware of early SD cards or USB sticks having
partition tables. It's only relatively recently with "huge" media
sticks that partition tables on removable media have become a thing.
Actually they did. USB sticks had a partition table, and Windows would
would only see the first partition. It did not show you the partition
table, but it was there.
I think the last floppy without a partition table was the 1.44 MB one
(ok, the 2.88 MB too, but I never saw one). Even ZIP drives had a
partition table.
