I think you'll find that there are quite a few places where non-512
bytes sectors just don't work.

This is partially lazyness on the part of coders, and partially because
it is difficult to test non-512 byte sectors.

IIRC there are some PRs that contain fixes for non-512 byte sectors
to various parts of the system
