And then a miracle happens.

There are two FUSE filesystems in Windows.
Dokan/Dokany (with multiple versions and some
softwares version-locked to a particular library
version). And the Microsoft IFS (Installable file system)
of which EXT2IFS was an example. I'm not aware of any IFS
efforts recently.

A very few number of peripheral devices, support
both protocols. For example, a camera doesn't need
MTP, because it can just dismount the file system
and stop taking pictures, and connect the media as
a USB Mass Storage device, to the USB port. Then
sit there and wait until all transfers are finished.
That's how my camera behaves - USB Mass Storage only,
and the screen goes off while it is in that mode.

On my camera, you can also pop the SD and access
the data at that level.
