That advantage is not limited to NTFS as FAT16/32, ext1/2/3/4/5,
etc... can be defrag too with a defragger. SSDs, like flash drives,
would be destroyed pretty soon if there exists too much RW operations.

I believe all modern file systems have built in technologies to
prevent excessive fragmentation, e.g. leaving space for a file to
grow. Microsoft Windows seems to run the defragger on a fixed schedule
during idle periods.
