I know some people might be chuckling at team group's "generous" offer of a free usb 2.0 , 16 GB drive given most people are defaulting the the usb 3.0 speed drives but strangely enough there's actually a use for these ! For example as I found out recently when doing a usb flash bios on motherboards that support this, you actually want a usb 2.0 drive ...
Team group drives have worked out well for me before I started reading reports about how you're better off with say a crucial MX brand drive for your windows drive and even then they still worked out great as a secondary drive for say installing games on (and honestly they worked out just fine for the years I used them as a Windows drive before I found out the Crucial MX's were a better option given my budget )
I do agree that there are uses for small drives (USB 2.0 or otherwise). They're good for bootable utilities, live operating systems, and installers. That said, the USB 2.0 Team Group drives I've used are utter garbage. Sequential write speeds topped out around 6-8MB/s. Random write speeds are terrible. Sequential reads are 25MB/s and random reads are a decent 2-4MB/s. The bigger concern was that one randomly disconnected and became corrupted the second time I used it. It was not a very impressive introduction to Team Group products. On the flip side, I also picked up a very cheap ADATA MicroSD card and was quite impressed by its speeds.

And it's possible I'm generalizing way too much

and took them at their word and my usb 2.0 flash drive worked to do a usb flash bios upgrade on my asus motherboard ... that and there's been some rare instances where I'll say download a bootable program onto a usb 2.0 drive and it wrecks the drive somehow and can't use the drive after though it could be due to me using PNY drives
I ordered a few usb 2.0 drives as "throwaway drives" to say load files on and give to friends if necessary, with the usb 2.0's being so cheap that it didn't matter if I never got it back or they lost it

You mentioned a few instances of bootable programs wrecking flash drives. How exactly does it wreck them? Some people incorrectly assume that a flash drive/card has been ruined because Windows will refuse to format it after being modified in certain ways (common with bootable utilities). You may need to use a third-party utility to wipe the drive/card and give it a partition table that Windows will tolerate. While obviously not its primary purpose, the Raspberry Pi Imager works well for this. Where it says "choose OS" scroll down to "Erase (format card as FAT32)". Then for "choose storage" select the drive you want to wipe. Finally, say "write". It should only take a few seconds. I'm sure there are plenty of other utilities that can do this. Many Linux variants even come with a USB Stick Formatter. I can't be sure that this would solve your problem but it's a possibility.
