Apps don't have filesystem level write access to external SD card except those using SAF APIs. Quote from official documentation, Termux doesn't have support for SAF:

Why does Termux have read-only access to the external SD card?

On recent Android versions, the write access to the external SD card is done over Storage Access Framework. It is not possible to provide it's API to the command line programs.
