I partly helped Andy be confused because I interchangably used the word
"storage" and "memory" where that's what threw Andy off the main track.

 I'm aware that with removable SDcards, you have a choice to "adopt" it as an extension of the internal storage, or keep it separate as external (and removable) card, no doubt you do the latter.
 I just find I don't use my phone as portable storage, I have USB devices or cloud storage for that.

The last two or three phones I bought, the memory card slot doubles use as SIM card #2 holder, and that is way more important to me than an extra card ⁽¹⁾. I do not need it, and in the case I would, I would plug an external USB stick into an appropriate extender cable. I have done this in the past.
(1) And I did not find phones with three slots in the brands I looked at.
