The same problem exists for dos partitions etc. am I missing
something here?

My first guess is that you don't have msdosfs loaded. You need msdosfs
either built into your kernel or loaded as a module before you can
mount msdos filesystems. Mount will try to load the module if it's not
available and will fail doing that with "Operation not permitted" when
not run as root.
