Re: What's the actual *advantage* of not having an sd slot?

The fact is the removal of essential, industry-standard features like the
3.5 mm auxiliary jack and SD card slot from modern devices is often
justified by manufacturers as a step towards innovation or improved design.
 
However, an intelligent examination reveals a far more cynical motive.
 
The deliberate creation of new revenue streams and increased dependency on
proprietary ecosystems, always at the expense of user functionality and
convenience.
 
Removing basic industry-standard hardware functionality isn't about adding
capability; it's about removing choice and monetizing basic features.
