Is there an open platform which exploits the peculiar characteristics

Floppies.
They don't have _counts_ and _keys_ but they do expose _tracks_ and
_records_.
Thus floppies need "low level formatting" in addition to high level (the
actual filesystem), where your PATA or SATA or SCSI or flash or NVMe
only need the latter.
