Sure, on-board is stupid fast. I don't need stupid fast to hold my photos and videos for work, or my 100+gb of music for on the go that I change up semi-regularly. What I use my sd for is pure storage, and I now don't want to further upgrade to a new phone as I either have to pay through the nose for storage, or sacrifice some device power and build quality to be able to have expandable memory. You cannot with a straight face tell me phones don't need expandable memory, because they really do. I can't even count how many time my wife has had poor/no reception and was trying to show me a photo from years ago, but her iPhone couldn't grab a high quality image from the cloud. On a road trip, her Spotify sometimes doesn't work due to no signal/roaming. I currently don't have that problem. Most of the music I am listening to frequently is on my sd card, I have backups of ROMs for if I wanna play an SNES or DS game or whatever, I have the important photos from the last decade. It's all just there because I can slap a 512gb sd into my phone.

I'm def not defending the big phone companies. There could be creative ways to mitigate pure storage vs fast storage, similarly to computer DRAM vs NVME 4.0.

I think another point I want to add is that you're an outlier. Out of all my friends with iPhones and Android phones, they are not ripping roms and downloading their music from CDs.

Normies are kinda dumb and don't fully utilize their phones.

These phones are geared towards those normies. Modern phone makers don't consider you as part of their demographic.
