most people don't care about cards. at most, they get one card (if they
do at all) and leave it in the phone.

might as well just get 64-128g from the factory and not worry about
whether apps can run off cards or where user data gets stored.

plus, with so much stuff in the cloud, the need for higher capacity
devices is minimal anyway. what takes up the most space is music and
video, which can easily be streamed.
