What is the significance of the file system? The interface should work with any usb ported device, not just pen drives. Cameras, IR, bluetooth, printer, scanner, multi-function, modem etc. USB is quite a popular format for many devices. Universal plug and play utilities dedicated to the individual OSes could make driver writing universal too. The hard part will be to develop the interfaces for each OS, but once that is done, making common drivers will not be a problem for the manufacturers.
How would the OS to read the drivers from the storage area of the USB device if it doesn't know what filesystem it is formatted in?
