I agree here. A partition is just a partition. It's taking one disk and abstracting it into two. This is not hard.

The rovers on Mars, the Voyager, these problems have been solved for a long time. The compute in a Tesla these days can probably run Crysis.

You can do this OTA to a Raspberry Pi running Nerves via remote SSH and it works really well. The Nerves runtime utilizes A/B partitions for OTA updates.

I once worked at a startup that sold a very expensive "enterprise" network appliance that didn't have partitioning. I had worked on network appliances before which did have this capability, so I asked the VP of engineering about it. He said it just wasn't a priority given all the other work that needed to be done. I wouldn't be surprised if Rivian had the same startup mentality that might lead to such a situation.
