Not every OS or every SSH daemon support byte ranges but most up to date Linux systems and OpenSSH absolutely support it. One should not assume this exists on legacy systems and daemons.

Byte ranges are the only way to access files over sftp. Look at the read and write requests in https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-secsh-filex...
I agree but there are legacy daemons that do not follow the spec. Most here will never see them in their lifetime but I had to deal with it in the financial world. People would be amazed and terrified at all the old non-standard crap that their payroll data is flying across. They just ignore the range and send the entire file. I am happy to not have to deal with that any more.
