I got a spare drive and it does work (at least for now, this drive

to Sandisk and I'll see if it was with that specific model.
I'll also wait for some time and see if wear and tear may cause problems.
What's interesting is that the broken drive works on both Fedora and
macOS, but not Windows. That's why I didn't speculate the drive itself
was broken before.
I am going to bet that the NTFS code is very similar on Fedora and MacOS. So likely it is a code bug or a usage bug (see comments below).
you did make sure to umount it on Linux/BSD before removing it right?
And if you hibernate the machine(any os) and remove the usb device while hibernated the filesystem may not be consistent, it has to be explicitly unmounted on both windows and fedora before removal so that all data is fully written.
In the past it was suggested to not use NTFS as a transfer drive and to use something simpler like FAT32 as that fs's format is better documented and simpler than NTFS. That may or may not still be the case.
