Could you build this?
No The product is a macOS filesystem driver for NTFS, which requires low-level systems programming, Apple FSKit extension development, and integration with ntfs-3g.
What it would actually take: A real version needs an FSKit file system extension written in Swift or C, with entitlements and signing for Apple's system extension model. It must integrate a mature NTFS driver such as ntfs-3g and handle data-corruption risks, which calls for systems engineers with filesystem expertise and extensive testing.
