Surely that's cutting the garment to suit the cloth.
If someone wants to do individual byte writes then being forced to do page 
writes to suit a hardware shortcoming *may* justify the use of a different 
technology. This obviously depends on the application and resource 
availability or perhaps how much the user is happy to have the hardware lead 
him by the nose, BUT "using something properly" where the item is of low 
capability is not necessarily the same as 'doing the job well'. But, you 
know that.
