You can create new filesystems in the APFS container, either with Disk Ut= ility or with diskutil, and that's occasionally useful (as I mentioned, N= ix on macOS is installed in a case-sensitive volume). I don't _think_ you can change the 'personality' of an existing volume, t= hough, and if you were to try to install macOS on a non-standard filesyst= em (and if you were to achieve that) I suspect the OS would break enterta= iningly.
