Being picky about partitioning is mostly outdated now what with the switch from HDD to SSD. It only used to be a thing because there were advantages/disadvantages to where the data was stored on a HDD, HDD are mechanical with spinning platters so having something like your OS on the inner part of a platter would give you a bit more performance and reduce access times due the heads not having to seek back and forth across the entire platter.
With SSDs that's irrelevant so it's just easier to have one big partition.
Before I got fibre I'd have steam backups I kept on my local server and generally a partition for games (C for everything else, games on D) but since fibre broadband I've ditched all that.
