And what are the privacy implications of your editor using someone else's
computer to store the files that rightly belong on your personal device?

I never need to do that.
If I had to, I would use a google editor on the cloud (which you hate), or a new account at my host computer. And that would be very strange, as I travel with my laptop.

 I feel sorry for people who store their editing files on someone else's
computer simply because I'm well aware of the privacy & cost implications.
 But I certainly fully & completely understand your position that you don't
need to pop out an sd card (nor can you on your phone) to double storage.
 Still... most Android phones have an sd card slot for a good reason... (as not everyone is wealthy enough to throw away their phone every few
years or to pay thousands just so they don't have to throw it away).
 In summary, you don't need it because you're wealthy enough to buy a new
phone every few years and/or to buy increased cloud storage forever at an
immense cost over that of an sd card (with some added lost-phone benefits).
 But not everyone is that wealthy...

My phone is already 2 years old, I expect to use it for two years more, and I don't pay cloud storage.
I have never needed or felt the inclination to edit things in my phone. At least not heavy memory things, just notes. Editing is done in my computer.
