That statement is overly negative. The JEDEC Zoned Storage for UFS standard has been published last week [1]. It can be downloaded by anyone for free after having created a JEDEC account, which is also free. As one can see in this standard, nothing excludes using a zone append command. Once T10 standardizes a zone append command, it can be implemented by UFS vendors. However, I do not know whether T10 plans to standardize a zone append command. Bart.
