And yes, this is the ONE AND ONLY(!!!) advantage!

While it's cheaper for the manufacturers, that's NOT why they do it.
Notice *who* does it.

Who makes phones so crappy they don't do the most basic of things?

Apple. Google. Some others but usually on the "designer" phones only.
Why?

The consumer who buys those crap phones is a "whale" in financial speak.

Did'ja ever wonder why *those* companies & *those* phones don't have the
basic functionality such that the customer has to buy it back somehow?

Think about why Apple removed the aux jack.
The reason is the same.

The more basic functionality they remove, the more you have to buy it back.
That's *why* they do it.

Apple & Google make a *lot* of money in people forced to buy two things:
a. Phones with more internal storage (which they purchase at a premium)
b. Cloud storage

IMHO, the *real* reason crappy phones don't have the basic functionality of
an sd slot is that the companies who removed that slot have strategically
determined they make *lots* more money off of you when you have to buy more
of their stuff in order to make up for the functional loss of the sd slot.

A phone without the sd slot is, by definition, a crappy phone because it
can't do some of the most basic things that phones should be able to do.

Unless you pay through the nose to get that basic functionality back.
